The Greek Freak was involved in a verbal altercation with assistant coach Sean Sweeney on Saturday, though there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
Coach Sweeney is personally in charge of the Greek Freak. He is very close to him and has great faith in the player. He also has a consulting role when it comes to him and always accompanies him in his visits to Greece. According to Eurohoops sources, part of Sweeney’s job is to challenge Giannis whenever he’s making a bad play or a turnover. It has happened time and time again in the past, without ever being caught on camera.
All that means that there are no hard feelings between the two sides and the whole incident was more of a wake-up call to keep Giannis alert during the game.
