The Milwaukee Bucks are ready to start a new era after parting ways with Mike Budenholzer. The team suffered a shocking and painful loss in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, which led the front office to fire Budenholzer.
They started a large coach search and today, the right candidate was found. Adrian Griffin is set to take over the Bucks in his first tenure as an NBA head coach. The Toronto Raptors head coach left a big impression not only on the team’s executives but the best player, as Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly backed him to take this job.
“Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo vouched for Adrian Griffin to become the franchise’s next head coach,” Chris Haynes reports.

Giannis’ opinion is always important for the Bucks, as he’s the leader of this project. He shared a powerful message when Coach Bud was released, showing love and respect for the man who took him to win the 2021 NBA championship.
Now, a new era is starting and Antetokounmpo is locked in, especially with Griffin bringing his ideas to a team that is still competitive and can aspire to win championships for many years to come.
They still have some big decisions to make, especially with Antetokounmpo, whose future appears to be unclear. The player is even entertaining potential scenarios where he plays for different teams, worrying Bucks fans in the process.
The Bucks And Giannis Are Set To Get Revenge Next Season
Meanwhile, he’s focused on bouncing back next season. The Bucks had high expectations this postseason, as Giannis explained they were playing to win the NBA championship and the Miami Heat played to beat them.
The Greek superstar is looking to get revenge and return to the Finals, and Griffin seems to be the right person to help him achieve that. Antetokounmpo is arguably the best player in the world right now and after another MVP-caliber season, he’ll be ready to take it to a new level, trying to lead his squad to another championship.
Griffin is getting his first chance as a head coach, and this time, many people are excited about this new beginning. Time will tell if it works for the Bucks, but Giannis seems to be fine with this decision.
