Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks has been a hot topic, especially after his third straight first-round playoff exit.

However, the appearance of head coach Doc Rivers may be a compelling reason for Giannis to stay.

NBA insider Marc Stein recently reported that despite widespread speculation about his potential departure, the Bucks remained “hopeful” for retaining Giannis' Bucks.

The Bucks star publicly expressed appreciation for Rivers' coaching style.

He once said in an interview: “Doc is doing his best, he is working hard. He is working hard to figure out the rotation; he gives us the best speech. Change our defensive plan, change our offense plan. He tries to adjust, make something happen, create sparks.”
