Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo recently offered his perspective on his team’s performance this season. Despite high expectations, particularly following the acquisition of Damian Lillard, the Bucks have faced challenges.
Their struggles have prompted scrutiny, particularly regarding the compatibility of their two primary stars. Additionally, coaching staff changes, including the dismissal of Adrian Griffin and the subsequent hiring of Doc Rivers, have raised further questions.
Nevertheless, the Bucks currently hold the third position in the Eastern Conference and remain in contention. While Giannis humorously remarked to ESPN that they are experiencing an “A+ season,” he believes there’s room for improvement:
“A+, Great, great season. You know, wait, let me stop joking. I think the season is over, there have been ups and downs for sure. But I, what are we right now, I think 3rd in the NBA, 4th in the NBA record.”
The “Greek Freak” also addressed the coaching changes within the Milwaukee Bucks. He acknowledged the impact of these changes and emphasized that he never expected the team to immediately dominate the NBA:
”So like, all the ups and downs we have had, 3 coaches in the last one month. Griff, Joe, Doc Rivers, and six months ago, or 8 months ago, we have another 4th coach. Lots of changes, right? “It’s pretty good, we just have to figure it out, we just have to keep getting better. I said at the beginning of this year it’s not going to be easy. I don’t expect us to right off the bat be the best team in the NBA.”
Giannis shared these insights in an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews. He also compared the current season with the previous one, expressing optimism about the Bucks’ prospects for a successful postseason.
