A recent biography of Giannis by Mirin Fader (Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP) has shed light on Jason Kidd's tremulous tenure as the Milwaukee Bucks head coach.

Here are some excerpts

Part I: A Merry Kidd Christmas for Larry Saunder & Co



* The December 23rd game was the last for Larry Sanders with the Bucks. He walked away from basketball entirely at the end of that season.

WOW……I thought the NBA was a players’ league? What would have happened if the team just followed the prior plan and took the day before Christmas off?

I've always gotten a bad vibe regarding Kidd. Unfortunately these stories don't surprise me. What does shock me is that he still gets considered for NBA head coaching jobs.

Not as bad as his tendency to beat women, but there's no surprise in the fact that he's a complete and utter failure of a head coach

Sadly, this reminds me of Larry Bird.

Clearly Kidd feels that verbal, mental and physical abuse is a good teaching method. I am guessing Larry Sanders and Joumana Kidd think differently, doing whatever they had to to never be his victim again.

I am just surprised there wasn’t a mutiny when he called for practice on Christmas Eve,

Doesn't sound like a very pleasant human being, to tell you the truth.

Sounds like a potential domestic violence/abuser, if not, already showing traits by drilling it down to his players and having some disconnections with his family.

I get losing to the Hornets, but to make them give up two days of the holiday for that? And scolding Giannis and Maker? Wow!

Larry abandoned his biological daughter from his first marriage (before he joined the Celtics).  She tried to become part of his life as she got older, and he essentially said it was too awkward.  He provided financial support, but pursued no relationship.
