The Milwaukee Bucks' season was already a rollercoaster, but now a teammate has pulled back the curtain on just how chaotic things got behind the scenes. Myles Turner, in a candid appearance on the "Game Recognize Game" podcast with WNBA star Breanna Stewart, spilled some surprising details about former head coach Doc Rivers' hands-off approach—and named Giannis Antetokounmpo as the biggest offender when it came to punctuality.
According to Turner, Rivers had a no-fine policy that created a lax atmosphere. "Guys were late all the time. Guys were showing up to film whenever they want. Guys were missing meetings. It was one of the craziest things I've personally experienced," Turner said in comments published Thursday, May 14.
The center didn't stop there, painting a vivid picture of travel chaos. "We literally, if the plane took off at 2 o'clock, we weren't leaving until 4:30. I'm being so serious, bro. It was crazy, dog. Guys were hours 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 going to take off," he recalled.
When Stewart pressed Turner to name the worst latecomer, he didn't hesitate: "Giannis." The revelation adds a new layer to the ongoing questions about Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee and the internal dynamics that may have contributed to a turbulent season. For a team that once looked like a championship contender, these behind-the-scenes tales suggest a culture that might need a serious reset before next tip-off.
