Giannis Antetokounmpo says he's 'speechless' over criticism from former coach Doc Rivers: 'That's insane'
Follow
Giannis Antetokounmpo has dismissed criticism from his former coach Doc Rivers, calling the remarks ‘insane’ and expressing disbelief over the backlash. Rivers, during a recent appearance on *The Bill Simmons Podcast*, described Antetokounmpo as a ‘difficult’ player to manage and questioned his basketball IQ, suggesting it limits his passing and decision-making on the court.
The comments came amid Miami Heat’s rocky start to the season, where they sit at 3-6 after nine games under Antetokounmpo’s leadership. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has since defended his star player, though the fallout has sparked further debate among former Bucks coaches, including Jason Kidd, who challenged Rivers’ assessment of Antetokounmpo’s abilities.
