Giannis Antetokounmpo initially expressed surprise and then annoyance at the comments made about him by his former Bucks coach, Doc Rivers. Rivers stated a few days ago on a podcast that the “Greek Freak” is difficult for a coach to manage and also questioned his basketball IQ.
“Oh, my God. First of all, he’s not my coach. My coach is Coach Spoelstra. But he’s a person, a coach I’ve worked with in the past. I’m speechless. Did he make comments like that today? You have his phone number, don’t you? You do. I know you do. You should go ask him why he thought of something like that—it’s his business.

It’s none of my business. I need to focus on my team, on what I need to do, on how I can get better, and on how I can help the team. But, man… It’s crazy.
Never let bitterness and pettiness get in the way of your goals and dreams. To every athlete out there: never let that happen. “It’s crazy, but you should go ask him why he said what he said. Not me,” said the “Greek Freak.”
