Giannis Antetokounmpo has repeatedly aired his frustrations about his team as the Milwaukee Bucks continue to give up big leads, lose games, and lack the the motivation to compete. Some analysts thought this is too much and that what he’s saying in public might be taken the wrong way by his teammates.
Nick Young is among those who think the Bucks locker room could be filled with tension due to the Greek Freak’s words.
“If you want to leave just leave bro. All this throwing teammates under the bus we know you not happy there,” Young said in the Gils Arena Show a few days ago.

Antetokounmpo went at it again as he earlier talk about how the team lack chemistry. His talk seems to fail to get to his teammates as they just lost another game at home due to a slow start.
Myles Turner agree with Giannis Antetokounmpo
Former players don’t agree with Antetokounmpo’s way of calling out his teammates but eye test and stats show he is correct.
Turner sees that, too, and he agrees with the Greek Freak that they are basically not yet on the same page. He also talked about the lack effort.
“I really think it’s just a collective mindset,” he said after their loss to Denver Nuggets.
“You can’t really just flip a switch in this league. So, you just gotta choose to do it. I’m not knocking our guys. I don’t think we weren’t playing hard. I just think that at times you get dejected. the other team starts making some shots, your morale goes down a little bit and you just gotta keep playing through the rest of the game. You never know what’s going to happen, just like our run there at the end.”
The rest of the Bucks will be further test in the weeks to come as they are set to lose Antetokounmpo for at least four weeks after suffering a calf injury on Friday.
