Jason Kidd had a vision going to Milwaukee: to see Giannis Antetokounmpo running the point for the Bucks from the "1" position. The new coach of the Bucks is not only determined to implement this idea, but will have the help of one of the top point guards of the 90s in this effort: Gary Payton.



Gary Payton is in Athens today and at an event held during the afternoon in the northern suburbs, he revealed that he has agreed with the Bucks to assume the role of 'Special Advisor' for Giannis Antetokounmpo next season. The "Glove" will start work during the pre-season at the end of the month, and said that he has met with the 19-year-old forward in Las Vegas, as well as with Jason Kidd, with whom he has a long friendship from the years they both played in the NBA.



The veteran superstar of Sonics and Lakers fame characterized Antetokounmpo as "unripe", but stressed that he has a lot of potential and was impressed by the willingness he has to learn and improve his game. As is evident, therefore, in an attempt to make him a point forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo will have the help of a player who "wrote" 17 years in the NBA, was a 9-time All Star and was once a leading defender of the NBA (1996).
