The 2024 NBA All-Star game is almost upon us, and with each passing day, the league is revealing details about the much-anticipated event.
After the revelation of NBA All-Star Game starters and reserves for each conference, it’s time to learn about the coach for each side.
While the coach for the Western Conference team is yet to be unveiled, the league revealed that Doc Rivers will coach the East at the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
The decision has surprised many fans around the globe as Rivers was made the head coach of the Bucks in the middle of the season.
Doc Rivers being the East All Star head coach is a complete joke.
Some of these NBA rules are so cooked.

In fact, Rivers is surprised with the decision too, as revealed by him via ClutchPoints on Twitter.
“That is ridiculously bad,” Rivers said.
“That is ridiculously bad… Well, Adrian [Griffin] is going to get some money and a ring… Maybe I’ll send my staff and I’ll go on vacation.”

Rivers didn’t mince his words when he called out the NBA’s decision to make him the head coach of the Eastern Conference team at the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
Rivers then joked about how Adrian Griffin will get some money and a ring if the Bucks end up winning the 2024 NBA Championship.
But why was Rivers given the opportunity to coach the East team?
Considering the Boston Celtics have the best record in the Eastern Conference, Joe Mazzulla should have been given the honor.
However, since he coached the East team last season, he was ineligible for it.
As a result, Doc Rivers was given the opportunity since the Milwaukee Bucks have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
While it is true, Adrian Griffin was responsible for making that possible.
Unfortunately, due to his mid-season firing, Doc Rivers is now the coach of the Eastern Conference team.
