For one, Doc Rivers complimented Joel Embiid after the Bucks lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, calling the 2023 league MVP the most talented player he coached. Many felt it was weird for the head coach to say something like that, especially with the situation around the Greek Freak.

Free agent forward Jae Crowder posted that the Milwaukee Bucks' downfall began when the team fired first-year head coach Adrian Griffin despite a 30-13 start during the 2023-24 season.

Joel Embiid has cemented himself as one of the most talented players ever, and Doc Rivers sees him as the undisputed #1.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo still tries to play through pain and injury, but is doing better at accepting when he has to sit.

Paul George made Doc Rivers pay when the 76ers took on an under-manned Bucks team and he made sure his former coach heard.

Rivers' tenure in Wisconsin hasn't been particularly successful. He took over from rookie head coach Adrian Griffin with the team holding a 30-13 record in the 2023-24 season. Since then, he has a 87-88 record across the regular season and playoffs, also leading the team to an NBA Cup title last season.
