El Tecnico de San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovic sera el tecnico del equipo de estrellas de la Conferencia del Oeste que se jugara el domingo 14 en Toronto, Canada…pese a no tener el mejor record de su conferencia.
Los técnicos que reciben esa distincion son los lideres de cada conferencia, dos semanas antes del juego de las estrellas, pero no se puede participar en esa condicion en partidos consecutivos…Por esa razon el tecnico Steve Kerr de Golden State dueños del mejor record de temporada 39-4, es inelegible para dirigir a las estrellas porque ya lo hizo la temporada anterior…Popovic de los Spurs de San Antonio tienen el segundo mejor record y por eso volvera a esa funsion que ya ha realizado en 4 ocasiones anteriores…
NEW YORK – San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich will coach the Western Conference All-Stars in the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, to be televised by TNT at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 14 from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
Head coaches whose teams have the best records in each conference following the games played two weeks prior to the All-Star Game serve as the All-Star Game head coaches, but no head coach is allowed to participate in two consecutive All-Star Games.
Interim head coach Luke Walton led the Golden State Warriors to a 39-4 record in the season’s first 43 games prior to the Jan. 22 return of head coach Steve Kerr. Despite Golden State holding the conference’s best record (41-4, .911), Kerr is ineligible for the coaching honor because he led last year’s West All-Stars. Popovich’s Spurs (38-7, .844) have clinched the next best record in the Western Conference, earning the five-time NBA Champion his fourth nod as the head coach of the West.
En el este el elegido es el tecnico de los CaValiers de Cleveland Tyronn Lue y su cuerpo tecnico seran los encargados de dirigir a las estrellas de esa conferencia en el NBA ALL Star GAME..
Los Cavaliers tienen marca de 32-12 el mejor récord de la conferencia, despues de vencer el domingo 115-93 a los Phoenix Suns.
la edicion 65 del Juegos de las Estrellas de la NBA, sera la primera edicion que el partido se realice fuera de Estados Unidos y sera televisada a mas de 200 países y en mas de 40 idiomas.
