Several days have passed, and it's still hard to believe that Damian Lillard – currently one of the ten best players in the NBA, one of the most electric and impressive shot-makers on the planet – is a Milwaukee Buck. But it's true! And to further confirm this amazing development, he'll be introduced to Brew City by the Bucks and Bucks fans at a welcome rally this weekend.

You can say your first hello to the seven-time all-star at the official Bucks welcome rally for Dame Lillard on Saturday, Sept. 30 in the plaza outside Fiserv Forum. Fans are encouraged to gather at the rally around 2 p.m.; the exact arrival of Dame Time has yet to be announced. 

In addition to giving Lillard a hearty Milwaukee greeting, Bucks fans can check out a limited amount of new Dame jerseys in the Bucks Pro Shop inside Fiserv Forum, as well as jam out with music in the plaza while getting pumped with your fellow fans – and Bango! – for the upcoming season. Food and drink will also be available in the plaza as well as in the surrounding Deer District restaurants and bars.  

After this celebratory introduction outside Fiserv Forum, Lillard, Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks will hit the Fiserv Forum court together starting Thursday, Oct. 26 with the season opener at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
