Former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers delivered sharp criticism of star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo following his dismissal from the team, according to reports on Friday.
Rivers, who was fired earlier this week, made the comments in a recent media appearance, questioning Antetokounmpo's leadership and commitment. The two-time MVP responded by expressing his feelings about the coaching change, stating he respected Rivers but felt the team needed a different direction.
The Bucks organization has not officially commented on the exchange. Antetokounmpo remains under contract with Milwaukee as the franchise searches for a new head coach.
