FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick Wright reacts to Doc Rivers admits He “questioned” on Why Bucks hired him

Has more interviews about winning with the Bucks than wins with the Bucks okay here he is with Frank Isa and Ryan MCD on how he landed in Milwaukee take a listen personally I you know I’ll be honest I I told our owners when they called I said I don’t understand why

You’re doing this you know um and they said you know one of the things they said was well it doesn’t matter we’ve done it now and um we we we want you and and so that was a tough one I didn’t I that was that’s where you had the

Hesitation your reaction bro well let’s just keep it real nobody believes that all right I I mean really now I say that people feel like I mean the public perception not everybody feels public perception is he stabbed Adrien Griffin in the back but I will say this what doc

Just said does actually make sense like if if they come to you and say a coach who is 30 and we’re about to fire you would be like wait what why cuz remember doc wasn’t talking to the players I I don’t believe he was talking to the players as a

Consultant he was talking to Adrien Griffin and the owners so he may not have even known or at least not known the extent of how the players were kind of soured on Adrien Griffin maybe heard it from Adrian at you know they’re not doing what I want them to do or whatever

So I can I honestly even though like I said the public perception is what it is but I think that does that’s plausible that doc was surprised now it’s he may have still wanted the job too but it’s plausible that hey wow really fair 30 and 13 you’re firing go ahead Wilds oh

No I’m going to end it I I I was a big believer in the Bucks and I have stopped believing in the Bucks and times people ask me why okay so that’s perfect so then I I’ll I’ll set you up for because I you said something yesterday Wilds

That after you said it I’m like oh he’s right that part of the reason I am now considering buying more Buck stock is they remind me a bit of the Chiefs not on the Pedigree and that stuff but a team that has a unquestioned champion as its best player has another piece that

We all know is super valuable playoff closer and everyone is like nope they’re not going to be able to get it done and it just felt like the Stock’s too low but Doc is not helping himself and I don’t understand why doc keeps doing all these interviews I don’t understand DOC

For someone I think he’s trying to talk he’s trying he’s thinking he can get the win the room back I guess honestly that’s what I think he’s too Med Savvy in my opinion to not realize that a lot of what he is saying sounds like excuse making and like pre excuse making which

Is what makes it so odd but go ahead so remember when I brought the deer in that’s how much I believed in The Bu and now I kind of fully believe in Denver and not really believe in the Bucks and people were ask me why and I just wrote down everything has been

Weird okay so just I’ll just run through all these weird things and tell me if you agree at the end of this list like wow things have been weird and weirder than other teams giannis’s press conference after they lose when there’s actually no such thing as losing it’s

Just steps okay kind of weird you fired your coach fine you hire Adrien Griffin that’s fine then flirts with leaving so you get to sign Dame weird to flirt with leaving but hey is what it is you sign Dame you lose tro okay you kind of broke

Up the championship core is what it is Terry stots quits yeah weird you have a meltdown over the game ball maybe you’re totally locked in just weird you fire Adrien Griffin who was what 30 and 13 little bit weird docs on a weird media tour and then Dame leaves Giannis off

His top five puts bam in when he said he wanted to go to the heat all offseason I’m just saying saying a lot of weirdness I’m I’m TV’s bad boy I’m also the vior before you go that Chief’s rout and pick the Bucks the Chiefs played

Defense no got a little better that’s a good point if you really wanted to be TV’s bad boy you would have punctuated that and that’s why the Bucks are out in round one you would have done something gone after it that’s don’t tell the bad boy had okay I don’t listen to anybody

Josh yeah’s bad boy I think he’s being totally serious that he’s not grinding League Pass we know certain guys are because they tweet about games like look sorry to bring up LeBron here but LeBron who’s the ultimate keep the main thing the main thing is a basketball nerd and

Is watching league pass and tweeting when guys are going off I do not think Giannis is not re watching scouting reports or film or any of those things but I just don’t think he’s going home and watching the league which this is my the the message I would give you

Honest people that consume the entertainment industry want our entertainers to be unbalanced obsessives and if you’re not keep it to yourself right you don’t think he’s obset like there’s 10 stories about him being like I I think that I I think that he very well may be but in

This in this instance he came across as the opposite I think it’s one of the reasons Joker is not as popular and I said entertainment industry for a reason there are actors that we know are like bad to people on set that are almost held in a higher regard because they’re

Method actors and they get so obsessed with the role and people when they are spending their time or money investing in something they want those people to be all in on it and that is something that I think the NFL does really good on is making the fans believe these players

Are obsessed with winning and the NBA doesn’t do as good of a job on it and so I think it’s just bad messaging by Giannis a guy I love but I think it’s bad messaging yeah it doesn’t come off well and I agree like I think he was

Dead serious at first about wimy yeah about not watching basketball and look over the years I’ve talked to players there are a lot of players that grew up not watching basketball while we they were out playing basketball and a lot of us were sitting there watching it and

They became great players Rob Parker my partner on the eye couple Fox Sports Radio 7 to 10 p.m. Eastern yes tells us always turn on too early he tells the story this is hilarious so when they the Dream Team right or and Shaq or it

Wasn’t a dream team it was the top 50 players okay or no no it was a dream team and Lenny Wilkins was one of the coaches yep and Shaq said to Lenny Wilkins coach you you really know a lot of the about the game

Did you play yeah and so it was this was one of the later dream teams and and Lenny was like Lenny Wilkins is a top 50 player of all time was actually there Shaq wasn’t at that he was top 50 but Shaq didn’t show up but that is that is

Emblematic of a lot of players not knowing the history of the game um so I don’t I think Giannis probably doesn’t watch a ton of games all right and that’s fine there’s nothing wrong with that it’s a problem obviously if he’s not grinding film and I would think you

Do cuz sometimes you do as a team they give you your tablets you you know you get the scouting reports I I mean he said he had to be joking I think the end if you’re not knowing yeah like the end he was joking the beginning he wasn’t

Let me just take him seriously for a minute and I’m not chastising him because I think he was joking but if it if you don’t study your opponent you won’t know their weaknesses how to attack them I like the Miami Heat that puts up a wall and Giannis has been

Baffled by it in most cases and so I I just now look Floyd Mayweather said he never watched film of his opponents and obviously he’s great but it’s hard to imagine I think he is 100% joking from the beginning to the end yes really yes

I think he looked Ser he said I’m being totally honest with he said I’m being totally honest I can’t give you an like Dad jokes and I don’t think his timing was perfect on the joke it’s not a funny joke but I think he’s 100% see I I think

It was they played the Spurs twice in December and he has not consumed one minute of Spurs basketball since then I think that’s what he was telling us you got to watch the Spurs well that’s he was asked about wom I watch
