Some NBA media outfit are just brazen when it comes to their takes and questioning but nobody does it better than TMZ whose reporter just ambushed Doc Rivers and asked the Milwaukee Bucks coach some awkward questions.
The Bucks have been eliminated early from playoff contention (just five games against the Indiana Pacers) and instantly popped up were questions about Rivers’ stay with the team as well as Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future.
One TMZ reporter walked straight to Rivers coming out of a restaurant and threw a series of questions which the NBA personality gladly answered.
First is if the Bucks are willing to trade Antetokounmpo for projected no. 1 pick Cooper Flagg. The team that will pick him, the Dallas Mavericks, has a very recent history of making a shocking trade.

“There’s some things I don’t even have to answer,” Rivers responded.
The coach probably found the question farcical and did not want to dignify it.

The reporter pressed him on question about the Knicks-Pacers series and he answered as well. The person then moved on to the next one and this time it’s something directly related to the Bucks.
“What are you going to do to turn out a championship next season?”
“We’ll see,” Rivers answered.
One more question was asked and it is something many Bucks fans are deeply concerned with.
The inquisitive reporter asked if he talks to the Greek Freak and brought up the trade rumors. Rivers’ answers sound optimistic.
“Guys, I’m not doing all that. I talk to him all the time. You can move on now, thank you.”
