Giannis Antetokounmpo says he’s ‘speechless’ over criticism from former coach Doc Rivers: ‘That’s insane’

Miami Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed disbelief and described himself as speechless following critical remarks made by his former Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers. During an appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Rivers characterized Antetokounmpo as difficult to coach and questioned the forward's basketball IQ. Antetokounmpo voiced his shock over the comments on Sunday night.

Current Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra and former Bucks coach Jason Kidd both defended Antetokounmpo against Rivers' remarks. The controversy comes as Miami navigated an early 3-6 start to the season following the blockbuster offseason trade that brought Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee to the Heat.
