The official announcement of Damian Lillard’s involvement in the deal that sent him to the Milwaukee Bucks under the leadership of Giannis Antetokounmpo was made on Wednesday, September 27. A wild ride that started when the now-former Portland Trail Blazer asked for a trade back in July came to an end with this transaction. Since entering the NBA in 2012, he has been a member of the western team.
Soon after the news spread online, Lillard stunned everyone by performing a brand-new song while wearing his Dame D.O.L.L.A. cap. In the roughly three-minute song “Farewell,” he talks on his and his family’s accomplishments, strained relationships, and other topics. As he begins his next chapter, the Oakland talent also addresses Portland supporters.
