On October 2, Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard filed for divorce from his wife, Kay’la Hanson Lilliard.
The news comes following his trade to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lillards, who had exchanged vows in a picturesque ceremony back in September 2021, share three children – Damian Jr., and the twins, Kalii and Kali.
The timing of Damian’s divorce announcement, coinciding with his Bucks trade, sent NBA fans into a frenzy, triggering a troll extravaganza on Reddit.
Here’s how trollers responded:
“Now we know why he wanted to go to Miami so bad.”
“This man thought he was gonna be living the single life in Miami and has to do it in Milwaukee instead.”
“Why do you want beach babes when you can get snow cows?”
“Wedding Ring -1; NBA Ring: +1”
“Look out Milwaukee single ladies!”
“All the Milwaukee Insta thots getting on their A-game for this one.”
“All the most fertile and productive farm women just put down the two hogs they were carrying to put on their best going-out outfits.”
“The Miami move failing gotta hurt even more.”
“Son, those beach hotties are nice to look at, but they’re not going to take care of you like a woman who grew up on a dairy farm.”
“City girls get buckets but country girls win championships.”
Lillard, a staple of the Portland Trail Blazers for 11 seasons, had repeatedly expressed his commitment to staying with the team that drafted him and winning a championship in Portland.
The decision to trade Lillard was disclosed on the second day of NBA free agency.
Despite Lillard’s expressed interest in joining the Miami Heat, Portland opted not to fulfill that request. Instead, the Milwaukee Bucks emerge as the destination for the star point guard.
Hence, NBA fans on Reddit have taken to social media to draw humorous comparisons between the two cities, with Milwaukee’s reputation as “America’s Dairyland” contrasting with Miami’s allure.
