On Monday night, a bombshell was dropped in the Milwaukee Bucks organization. Head coach Jason Kidd was fired for the team's mediocre season. The move apparently didn't come as a surprise for franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. In fact, Antetokounmpo considered Kidd to be his mentor and was ‘uncomfortable' when Kidd got fired, according to a report by ESPN.

“It's kind of uncomfortable, especially for a guy like me that is — as I said, one of my characteristics is that I'm being loyal to the people around me,” Antetokounmpo told reporters. “That's one of my characteristics, but it's kind of uncomfortable knowing before it happened.”

The Bucks are currently 24-22 in the Eastern Conference. They are ranked seventh in the conference and are a real possibility for making a splash in the postseason. Antetokounmpo is currently averaging 28.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. Although his play has been stellar, the Bucks have failed to breach the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference.

“He was a big part of my success,” Antetokounmpo said of Kidd. “He trusted me, he put the ball in my hands, he motivated me on a daily basis, he pushed me to be great and not to be mediocre. “I was 19 when he came and he said he was going to put the ball in my hands. The first time I wasn't ready. I told him, ‘Coach, I'm not ready to create and make plays for the team.' He said, ‘OK, we're going to take our time.' The next year, he put the ball in my hands and I was ready.”

If this situation is uncomfortable for Antetokounmpo, Kidd's firing may evolve into a toxic relationship between the Greek Freak and the Bucks organization. Hopefully, things will dissolve and the Bucks can focus on playing good basketball.
