“Your Heart Sinks Into Your Butt”: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Hilarious Immediate Reaction to Damian Lillard Bucks News

Giannis Antetokounmpo, along with being one of the best players in today’s NBA, is also one of the funniest. The Greek Freak always tries to joke about any and every situation he faces. This was also the case recently when the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Damian Lillard. It was a move that shocked the NBA world, and as expected, shocked Giannis as well. As he revealed in an interview during the Bucks training camp, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing and described the feeling with a rather bizarre analogy that had to do with both his “heart” and his “bu*t”.

Jokes aside, the two-time MVP is also excited about Dame’s arrival. Given his reputation as an elite scorer and three-point shooter, the duo of him and Giannis are already being lauded as the best in the league. But, despite all these plaudits, Antetokounmpo has made it clear that he wants Lillard to be himself. After all, there is no No 1 or primary option on the team, because they’re both focused on winning a championship.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals his hilarious reaction to the Damian Lillard trade

Recently, Giannis Antetokounmpo made an attempt at an analogy. Trying to explain what it is like receiving shocking news, he described how it feels like one’s “heart” sank into their “bu*ts”. A weird expression to say the least, but one that was applicable to a recent piece of news the Greek Freak received.

Speaking to the press in the middle of training camp, Giannis revealed, “It’s like when your heart sinks into your bu*t”, when he learned about the trade for Damian Lillard. It was a huge announcement that left everyone shocked.

After all, the Milwaukee Bucks were rarely even mentioned in trade discussions for Dame. Nevertheless, it was a moment that, to paraphrase, caught the 2021 NBA Champion off guard.

With the inclusion of Dame, the Bucks’ offense has evolved to another level. In addition to Lillard, Milwaukee also has other offensive threats in the form of Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez. And, of course, the Greek Freak, who is undeniably one of the top players in the NBA cannot be forgotten.

Moreover, Dame D.O.L.L.A. makes the Bucks an even greater threat to their opponents. With him on the team, Milwaukee’s championship hopes have sky-rocketed, as many believe they will be the ones to lift the trophy once the 2023-24 season comes to its conclusion.

Giannis was not happy to learn that Jrue Holiday had been traded away

While Giannis Antetokounmpo did get a second star in the form of Damian Lillard, he lost a close compatriot in Jrue Holiday. The guard, who now plays for the Boston Celtics, was integral to helping Giannis secure his first NBA Championship. So, when he learned that he had been included in the trade package, he was devastated.

In fact, the Greek Freak wasn’t even consulted about the trade. Of course, he was ecstatic about the Dame trade. But, he was more than a bit put off by the Bucks’ decision to not inform him.

That being said, Antetokounmpo did not forget Jrue’s contributions to the team. Upon hearing the news, he immediately sent out a heartfelt message to the guard. A player he claimed is now his “brother for life”.
