Giannis Antetokounmpo apparently wanted to keep his parting conversation with his head coach in-house.
The Milwaukee Bucks star said on Wednesday that he did not want to discuss his conversation with Jason Kidd, who was fired on Monday. Antetokounmpo also added that he was “uncomfortable” that some parts of the conversation were made public, per Matt Velasquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Of course, Kidd himself was the one who revealed the details of their exchange to the media in the hours after his firing. Antetokounmpo seemed like he was in Kidd’s corner all along, so this makes the retired point guard’s decision to air out his dirty laundry all the more head-scratching.
