Myles Turner: Giannis always late, "shows up whenever he wants"

[ozgod]

Myles Turner has revealed on a podcast that discipline at the Bucks went down the gurgler under Doc Rivers, with players late to the plane, late to training, late for film...and no consequences or repercussions. And apparently the biggest culprit was the biggest name player on their roster - Giannis.

Bucks center Myles Turner detailed a lack of discipline under Doc Rivers, saying the former Milwaukee coach "didn't fine anybody." Turner also singled out Giannis Antetokounmpo for taking advantage of the situation, noting that the franchise star would "show up whenever he wants."

"Guys were late all the time," Turner told New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart on their "Game Recognize Game" podcast. "Guys were showing up to film whenever they wanted to show up. Guys were missing meetings. It was one of the craziest things I personally ever experienced."

Asked by Stewart who was most likely to be late last season, Turner said it was an "easy" answer.

"Giannis. Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants, really," Turner said. "I think that this kind of just came with the territory that -- and once I saw what was going down, I was like, 'Hey man, more power to you. They ain't going to fine you. S---, do what you do.'"

"It was crazy, dawg," he said. "Guys were an hour late to the plane. It got to the point where I knew not to show up until an hour after they said the plane was taking off. It was crazy."

"Any other team I've been on, guys got fined. And there was a sense of order and a sense of understanding," Turner said on the podcast. "So yeah, you're late to the plane? Fine. You're late to treatment? Fine. You're late to film? Fine. But I personally did not experience that last year for the first time in my career. So we'll see what Taylor Jenkins does, our new coach."

This could just be Myles trying to force a trade mind you...it depends on who you want to believe

That corroborates the league's story when it investigated Giannis' claims that the Bucks wouldn't let him play.

Careful what you wish for with Giannis, man.  I know it's a yearly tradition around here to trade JB for the newest disgruntled star but there are red flags all over this dude.

I'd like to add, he's been dealing with his own calf issues the last few years as well. That feels like a ticking time bomb too, equivalent to a high-velocity baseball pitcher getting elbow injuries and then ultimately needing TJS later on.
