According to previous reports, the Bucks used extended clauses to lay off Lillard, whose two-year contract totaled $113 million will be shared over the next five years. Today, Lillard reposted a post on social media that refuted "He and the letters are a failed combination" from a Bucks self-media, and the full text is as follows.

For those who think "Antetokounmpo and Lillard are a failed combination", I once again emphasize:

They were the top two teams in the league in the two seasons of their cooperation.

They became the first pair in NBA history to average 24+ points, 4+ rebounds and 6+ assists per game for two consecutive seasons. No one has ever done it before, whether it is Kobe O'Neal, Jordan Pippen, Stockton Malone, Magic Jabbar or Wade James.

They are also the duo with the most scores of 25+ in a single game and 10+ assists in NBA history.

failed? Especially on the offensive end, their dominance when they are together is unmatched. Injuries, coaching issues, and misbuilding the lineup ultimately led to their failure. In the playoffs, they played together for less than 30 minutes, and Lillard sacrificed himself for the team's chances and was unfortunately injured in the process.

These two are excellent as a team. They are concerned about each other, both teammates and friends. Both of them adjusted their game style to cooperate with each other with the best side. I'm tired of all the opposite remarks.

ending, while sudden and shocking, is also a comfort to know that Lillard is satisfied with it.

We should be glad to see the wonderful performances of No. 0 and No. 34, even if the results are not satisfactory.
