Firing of Doc Rivers by the Milwaukee Bucks has become one of the most analyzed storylines of the NBA this week.
Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas' reaction has left fans in splits as he compared the relationship between Doc Rivers and the Bucks with dating Kim Kardashian.
Arenas claimed that Rivers was never given a realistic chance of succeeding with the Bucks, citing the team's previous success under Adrian Griffin.
He compared the situation to trying to date Kim Kardashian after someone else had a championship and a 30-13 record.
Rivers completed his overall Bucks tenure with a 97-103 regular season record, two first-round playoff losses and zero postseason games in the 2025-26 season.
The Bucks will pay out his entire contract, according to reports.
The team's two-and-a-half season under Rivers was plagued with injuries to several star players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
