Dani Olmo recently used Damian Lillard’s Dame Time celebration after FC Barcelona won a La Liga match against Ray Vallecano, prompting the Milwaukee Bucks to respond after the soccer star’s tribute went viral.
In a recent La Liga match, Olmo paid tribute Lillard with his iconic Dame Time celebration after scoring the winning goal against Rayo Vallecano. The tribute was made when Olmo pointed to his wrist, mimicking the star’s signature gesture that marks key moments in basketball.
Throughout his careerLillard is known for his ability to thrive under pressure, which has led to many memorable moments in the playoffs, including the dramatic three-pointers that have defined his legacy. His celebration debuted in the 2014-15 NBA season and has been used by the All-Star point guard ever since. It has since become a symbol of the All-Star spirit.
As Lillard prepares for the up-to-date season, fans are eager to see if he can deliver more of the thrilling moments of his past. If all goes well, All-Star point guard and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo could move beyond last season’s disappointing campaign and surpass what he accomplished this season.
