It was here for this ATO Bucks at the end of the game that was trying to grasp the WTF.

more This storyline
Chris Haynes recently reported that you, Doc and Dame had a meeting after losing to Golden State (March 18th). Giannis Antetokounmpo: Who goes and tells people this? I don’t know. I’m not going to enter your locker room. But I wanted to let it go with you and see what it meant. Is that an argument that needs to happen? How was that? Giannis Antetokounmpo: It’s a conversation. It’s not unique. It’s a conversation with your coach. I have multiple conversations with Doc – on the plane, on the bus, after the game, during the game, during the game, on the bus. Just a conversation. You need to do this. You need to do that. That’s nothing more than a conversation, right? It’s not more than that. I don’t know if people want to make more of it. It’s not more than that. That’s it – you just have to lead. And that’s true. Sometimes the coach comes out and says, “Hey, you guys aren’t leading now. You’re thinking too much about everything. You guys aren’t making it easy for you, you guys, you’re not blah, blah, blah.” -via New York Times / March 25, 2025
