While the Milwaukee Bucks were making a push for the Playoffs, Jason Kidd inexplicably benched Giannis Antetokounmpo who played every game up till then. He didn’t show any signs of injury or fatigue, there was no reason for the DNP-CD. So, as the modern world does when something random happens, we ask, we probe.
Reporters berated Jason Kidd, asking in unison “why did you bench him?” To this day his lips has been sealed, but Giannis doesn’t care anymore, as a matter of fact, he feels thankful for the random act.
I know that it became an issue and the media was trying to find out what had happened. Maybe because I had played in many consecutive games in the starting line-up and suddenly in a game against the Cavs I never stepped on the court. But there wasn’t anything more to it than the fact that he didn’t use me. It was good for me, as it turned out.
Because, in the next game I was angry and I was anxious to play. In New York. The game turned out to be a good game for me and I made one of the best plays I’ve made this far in my career. That play came out because I was angry.
The play he is talking about was his monster jam on the lowly New York Knicks and he had several before his stink face dunk, he went so beast after the benching that he even got a Player of the Week award. The only way is up for this guy.
