The Greek star responds to his former coach’s criticism of his playing style and ability to fit into a team system.

A war of words has emerged between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Doc Rivers. After the former Milwaukee Bucks coach criticized the Greek star’s playing style, describing him as difficult to fit into a team’s overall concepts due to his aggressive, one-dimensional approach, Antetokounmpo has responded.

“First of all, he’s not my coach. My coach is Coach Spo. But he’s a guy, a coach that I’ve worked with in the past. I’m speechless. […] Never let bitterness and pettiness get in front of your goals and dreams,” Antetokounmpo said.
