Newly-hired Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was under fire earlier in the offseason after a report detailed all the abuse he made players go through during his time with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

In response to the book excerpt, Jason Kidd talked at length about how close he still in with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
âDid Giannis write it?â Kidd told Yahoo! Sportsâ Mac Engel in response. âIâm waiting for Giannis for when he writes it. Iâm aware of [the book], but if itâs not from Giannis I wonât pay attention to it. That book or whatever everyone wants to make a big deal about ⊠I mean, he didnât write the book.
âWe helped build [the Bucks].â Kidd went on. âThere are no feelings about it because it was not Giannisâ book. The cool thing is my relationship with Giannis goes beyond basketball. I talked to him a couple of hours after his son was born. Cool little name, âMaverick.â See, you guys didnât know that. Thatâs how close we are.â

Of the other complaints from former players on Jason Kidd included constant berating, excessive sprints, practices during holidays, etc.
One person who apparently won’t speak ill-willed of Jason Kidd is Giannis Antetokounmpo. Hopefully Kidd can develop a similar relationship with Luka Doncic during his time with the Mavericks.
