Giannis Antetokounmpo Became Tired Of Criticism From Jason Kidd

Mar 29, 2018 12:33 PM

While Jason Kidd's relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo was one of the stronger ones with a player he had, sources say Milwaukee's franchise player grew weary of his relentless critiques.

Before Kidd was fired by the Bucks, Antetokounmpo called him and offered to help save his job. Kidd revealed that conversion to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. Antetokounmpo was disappointed that Kidd revealed the private exchange.

"Did I think I lost the locker room? I didn't think I did," Kidd said. "My style? My voice was only heard when it needed to be heard. I let the other coaches do as much talking as I did, because I knew as a player, if you hear one voice, you can lose the locker room."

Bucks Have Jeff Van Gundy, Kevin McHale On List Of Head Coach Candidates

Mar 20, 2018 3:49 PM

The Milwaukee Bucks fired Jason Kidd as head coach in January and elevated Joe Prunty to the job on an interim basis.

The Bucks are unlikely to retain Prunty unless they win a playoff series.

If the Bucks do move on from Prunty, the belief is they want to make a big splash with their head coaching hire.

Sources say Jeff van Gundy and Kevin McHale are already on Milwaukee's list of candidates. Monty Williams, David Fizdale have also been mentioned as likely candidates.

Rick Pitino could also even receive at least exploratory interest.
