It’s certainly been a long offseason of people writing the Milwaukee Bucks off, primarily due to age, with many writers and anonymous “league sources” declaring their shot at another championship over before the season has even begun. Damian Lillard plays a key role in these discussions, being 34 years old himself. People often say Lillard had a down 2023/24 season, and yes, on some level, he did. Not to the level that people seem to imply—after all, he was an All-Star starter—but yes, his season was not necessarily everything people expected. There are many hypotheses for why that was, as we’ll get into, but many seem to place much, if not all, of the blame squarely on Dame’s shoulders.
