Craig Karmazin on Giannis, the Bucks’ New Coach & a Wild Rams Draft Pick
Friday, 24 April, 2026
Craig Karmazin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a conversation that goes in two huge directions: the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins and the NFL Draft decision by the Rams that instantly reminded everyone of the Packers drafting Jordan Love. 🦌 Bucks Hire Taylor Jenkins The Bucks have their new head coach, and Craig reacts to the hiring of Taylor Jenkins as Milwaukee begins a new era. The discussion centers on: Why Jenkins feels like a solid, defensible hire His background with Coach Bud and previous time in Milwaukee His success in Memphis and why many around the league still viewed him positively Whether a coach in the NBA is more about X’s and O’s or managing stars and egos 👀 Was Giannis Involved? That leads to the biggest Bucks question: Did Giannis have any say in the coaching hire? Craig is honest that he doesn’t know for sure, but the conversation digs into: Giannis posting that the Deer District “should be loaded right now” Whether that was a message of frustration or solidarity with Bucks fans How much power Giannis still has within the organization Why everything in Milwaukee still ultimately goes back to Giannis 🏈 Rams Draft a QB… and Everyone Thinks “Jordan Love” The NFL Draft side of the conversation gets just as interesting. The Rams taking Ty Simpson at No. 13 sparked immediate comparisons to the Packers drafting Jordan Love: A win-now team using a premium pick on a future quarterback A head coach who may not have been fully on board The tension between planning ahead and maximizing a Super Bowl window Craig says Jordan Love has clearly worked out for Green Bay, but also argues the Packers may still have cost themselves a better chance at another title by not going all-in in that draft.
