Expect Giannis Antentokounmpo and Jason Kidd to have a long, fruitful relationship.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is more talented than most in the NBA, but he's quick to credit second-year Bucks coach Jason Kidd with spurring his development.

2014-2015 was Antetokounmpo's second season in the NBA, and the Greek forward took great strides to improve his game, particularly making plays with the ball in his hand. Kidd, he said in an interview with Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, deserves praise for giving him the opportunity to get better.
