Bucks coach Rivers was interviewed on the live show, talking about the performance of the Thunder and the trading trends of Antetokounmpo.
Regarding the performance of the Thunder, Rivers said: "The Celtics in 2008 were very strong, but I said that because I played against all of them. The Bulls had Harper, Pippen, Rodman, and Jordan, and these four were the top defenders in the top class. In terms of the combination of size and speed, I don't think there is a better team than their defense, but now the Thunder is very similar to them, and it can even be compared.
Regarding Antetokounmpo's future trends, Rivers said: "It's ridiculous. I heard all the reports about the trade going, you know that the news is untrue, but the players will hear it, and others will hear it. I remember a story that happened when I was in the Celtics: I was exercising on a treadmill and suddenly I heard the radio that the Celtics were going to trade Rondo to the Lakers. I was wondering how this is possible! ”
"This is outrageous, we have never talked about this at all, but Rondo heard it, you know? So this is where I dislike these rumors the least. I don't know how many times Antetokounmpo wants to say how many times he wants to be a Bucks player and win the championship for the Bucks, which makes me feel great because few people are like this now. Just like Curry will never leave the Warriors, I also hope Antetokounmpo can always think so. At least so far he has been like this, which is great, very good. ”
