Former Milwaukee Buck Michael Carter-Williams says that he didn’t get the best chance to succeed as a player when coached by Jason Kidd.
(via Entirely NBA):
“It’s tough to talk about because I think that I’m at a place in my life where I’m not trying to hold animosity towards anybody, I’m not trying to talk bad about anybody. It’s been a long time, but I think if I evaluate the situation, there’s a small percentage of people that would have advanced. I think if I came out and told stories about him and I’s arguments, our conversations, the things that he did to me, and you guys knew that background, I don’t even think you would say a small amount of people would succeed in that. I just don’t see a way where the things that him and I went through where anybody could succeed. I get asked about him in a lot of interviews, so again, I try not to just sit here and bash him. There’s things that he does that he does great and I give him credit for it: his in-game adjustments, the approach that he takes with teammates trusting each other and communication that he forces on guys. Some things he does the best I’ve ever seen, but then, there was some things that him and I went through that were… And I know he went through it with other guys, that for me is unforgivable. There’s no excuses for those things and it played a big part on my career, but I don’t blame him for nothing. I’m a man at the end of the day. I take full responsibility for everything that I did, but that’s probably what I gotta say about it.”
