Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard was one of many personalities to greet Travis Hunter for taking home the Heisman Trophy. Hunter is a two-way player for the Colorado Buffaloes, playing as wide receiver on offense and cornerback on defense.
Lillard shared a graphic featuring Hunter on his Instagram stories following the Bucks' 110-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. Milwaukee faces the OKC Thunder on Tuesday in Las Vegas in the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Final.
Hunter received 2,231 points, beating Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who had 2,017 points. It was the closest margin of victory since 2009 when Mark Ingram beat Toby Gerhart, as reported by the Associated Press.
