Following Mike Budenholzer’s surprise firing from the Bucks after the team’s first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Heat, franchise player Giannis Antetokounmpo addressed his coach’s firing for the first time.
“Thank you for five meaningful years Coach,” Antetokounmpo wrote on Instagram. “We accomplished something unbelievable and I’m forever grateful.”
The picture that Antetokounmpo shared was of the two hugging following Milwaukee’s NBA Finals win in 2021.
