Former Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Igor Kokoskov says his experience working with head coach Jason Kidd was difficult, and he characterizes Kidd as “the worst guy in the NBA.” Kokoskov also links some of the friction to his relationship with star player Luka Dončić during their time together in Dallas.
According to Kokoskov, the issue is not only about day-to-day coaching dynamics but also about how roles and access to Dončić may affect the broader environment around a team. NDTV reports that Kokoskov describes tension emerging as his close relationship with Dončić factored into how disagreements and communication play out.
The outlets’ coverage centers on Kokoskov’s remarks and the background for them, but differs in emphasis. NDTV focuses on Kokoskov’s explanation for why the working relationship with Kidd was strained, while also highlighting how his rapport with Dončić is presented as part of the underlying context.
