Doc Rivers tells Bill Simmons it was so hard for him to coach Giannis Antetokounmpo during his tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks: “He’s not easy. He plays at this crazy downhill pace. He’s really a difficult guy. He has this great passing ability, but he doesn’t have a super-high IQ at the same time. He really has only one way of playing. Every play, he wants to force it. I wish he’d learned how to execute better. “The thing he still needs to learn is the value of execution how important it is, when you’re in practice and at shoot around, to lock in on execution. Now he has a coach who’s as good as there is at execution.” https://t.co/TMdAjkQKDY

Πριν τη διευκρινιστική δήλωση του Ντοκ Ρίβερς, ο Γιάννης Αντετοκούνμπο όταν είχε ρωτηθεί για τις δηλώσεις αυτές είχε πει «καταρχάς, δεν είναι ο προπονητής μου. Προπονητής μου είναι ο Έρικ Σπόελστρα, αλλά ο Ρίβερς είναι ένας άνθρωπος – ένας προπονητής – με τον οποίο έχω συνεργαστεί στο παρελθόν. Δεν έχω λόγια».
Giannis RESPONDS to Doc Rivers saying he’s difficult to coach👀 “First of all he’s not my coach. My coach is Erik Spoelstra. I’m speechless. You gotta go ask him why he felt that — that’s on him, that’s not on me. I gotta focus on my team and what I gotta do…goddamn that’s crazy — never let bitterness or pettiness get in front of your goals and dreams…that’s insane you gotta go ask him why he said what he said— not me.” (@eric_nehm)
