Milwaukee Bucks is expected to hire Doc Rivers as their head coach, much to the amusement of the fans on social media.
It is not clear why Bucks ended up sacking their former coach Adrian Griffin, especially because the side is currently leading the table in the Central Conference with 30 and just 13 defeats in the ongoing season.
Griffin was aware that his job in under threat and he admitted that while talking to the media in his last press conference as the coach of the Bucks on Monday.
“I try to block out the noise,” he said while speaking to Yahoo Sports. “I stay off social media. Everybody’s gonna have their opinion and they’re entitled to their opinion, but I know what I know.”
After sacking Griffin, the Bucks are now heavily linked with a move for Rivers which left the fans confused social media reacted interestingly.
The 62-year-old has been out of work after leaving the Philadelphia 76ers in 2023. Before that, he has also coached three other franchises including the Los Angeles Lakers from 2013 to 2020, Orlando Magics from 1999 to 2003 and Boston Celtics from 2004 to 2013.
Under his coaching, Celtics went on to win the NBA title in 2008 after beating the LA Lakers in the best-of-seven finals with a score of 4-2. Rivers was also named the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2000.
Doc Rivers is underrated. Who else could coach like this?
