Earlier this week, the Milwaukee Bucks sent shockwaves through the NBA world with the sudden firing of head coach Adrian Griffin. The first-year head coach guided the Bucks to the second seed in the Eastern Conference with an impressive 30-13 NBA record.
Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly losing faith in Griffin, and their subpar the defense seem to have been the deciding factors for Griffin’s termination.
Since then, the Bucks have already found a competent and more experienced replacement, in veteran head coach Doc Rivers. The Athletic reported Rivers signed a four-year, roughly $40 million deal through 2026-27.
To welcome their new head coach, the Bucks put out a highlight reel of Rivers… but not of young Doc Rivers playing in the NBA, bu a highlight reel of Rivers coaching?! Yes, it is as stupid as it sounds, check it out.
