"Cropped for doing the Dray Time instead": Fans claim Damian Lillard cropped out Thanasis Antetokounmpo for incorrect "Dame Time" celebration

Damian Lillard's buzzer-beater that landed the Milwaukee Bucks a 143-142 win against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night continues to make headlines. On a fun note, fans noticed that the 32-year-old had cropped out teammate Thanasis Antetokounmpo from a post-game picture.

Lillard shared a picture of himself and the Bucks squad rocking his signature 'Dame Time' celebration on Instagram. Surprisingly, Antetokounmpo was missing in the photo, while his brother Giannis managed to make the frame.

A few eagle-eyed fans claimed the power forward was cropped out because he didn't execute the celebration correctly.

One fan called Thanasis a menace.

And the reactions poured in:

Thanasis Antetokounmpo was roasted by fans for getting Damian Lillard's Dame Time celebration wrong

Lillard drilled his first buzzer-beater for the Bucks. In the final seconds of the game, he inbounded the ball to big man Brook Lopez and called for it again with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis hot on his heels.

With 2.1 seconds left, he hit a 35-footer and performed his 'Dame Time' celebration while his teammates embraced him.

Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks are bonafide title contenders

The Milwaukee Bucks made their win-now intent clear when they landed Damian Lillard in a blockbuster trade last year. After expressing his desire to play for the Miami Heat, the seven-time All-Star found himself heading to Cream City to link up with Giannis Antetokounmpo as the Bucks geared up to win another title after their 2021 victory.

And while the Lillard-Antetokounmpo pairing took some time to mesh, all is well with the Bucks now, as they have a 28-12 record and are second in the East below the 31-9 Boston Celtics.

In his first season with Milwaukee, Lillard is averaging 25.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists. His last five games have seen him average 24.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.4 assists.

The numbers are bound to get better as both he and Antetokounmpo (31.2 points and 11.4 rebounds) are proving to be one of the better one-two-punch combos in the league.
