All eyes are on Milwaukee Bucks, especially Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, as the team try to go up the standings after their terrible 1-6 start.
The pair are currently in the Top 10 of scorers this season but because of their bad record, many think their careers are going downhill.
Lillard always means business when he’s on the floor and he does not really care about what critics said, except the time when one Instagram user invaded his social media space.
One user came to his IG account when he posted his game day fit and told him he is being doubted.

“IDGAF” is what he told the commenter.
It definitely feels like he is shutting out commenters since the start of the season. He has scored 30 points or more in five of the eight games he played so far. His lowest output was four points against the Memphis Grizzlies.
He is averaging 28.4 points per game, good for a sixth spot overall.
Damian Lillard gives self high grade
Critics can say what they want about Lillard and his team’s bad start but to the eight-time All-Star, he thinks he is performing well. He has the stats to back it up.
“Minus the game in Memphis, I think I’ve had a strong start, and I’ve just been aggressive. When I talk to Giannis and Doc, they’re like, ‘Be aggressive, attack, make plays, you gotta go and do what you do.’ Before the season, I really prepared,” he said.
Lillard explained he had some reflections about the current season and will continue doing what he is doing now.
“I gained a lot of perspective about where I am, what I want to accomplish, and how I’m going to make that a reality. I think all of that put me in a good place mentally and physically to do what I gotta do, and that’s what I’ve done. It’s been a strong start, and it’s going to stay that way.”
