Draymond Green reacts to Myles Turner’s Giannis Antetokounmpo comments
The Milwaukee Bucks are looking at having a very active summer, and that’s before we even get to Myles Turner’s recent comments about Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has chimed in.
In a recent interview with New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart on the Game Recognize Game podcast, Turner spoke with Stewart about a number of things, such as how former head coach Doc Rivers never fined players for being late to practices, film sessions, or flights.
“It depends on the coach,” Myles Turner said when asked about what players could get fined for. “So, Doc Rivers, he didn’t fine anybody. Guys were late all the time, guys were showing up to film whenever they wanted to show up. Guys were missing meetings. Like, it was one of the craziest things that I personally ever experienced.
“If the plane took off at 2:00, we weren’t leaving until 4:30. I’m being so serious, bro. It was crazy. Guys were an hour late to the plane… It got to the point where I just knew not to show up until like an hour after they said the plane was taking off. It was crazy.”
That led Breanna Stewart to asking Turner if he could divulge who was the worst culprit of exploiting the fact that players simply weren’t fined.
“Giannis,” Turner said after pausing to see if he should say it. “Giannis is gonna show up whenever he wants really. I think that this kind of just came with the territory of that. And once I kind of saw what was going down, I was like, ‘hey man, more power to you. If they ain’t gonna fine you, do what you do except when we’re going to Dallas.’ That’s when I was like, ‘come on,'”
Later that day, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo went to social media and posted a video with his kids captioned, “Another day getting better and minding our business.”
