Just nine days ago, Doc Rivers was named the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, and he also knows that the fact that he was named the coach of the East team in the All-Star Game is a little ridiculous: "It's ridiculously bad. It really is," Rivers said after his team's victory in Dallas on Saturday night, when continued Referred to the coach who replaced the position and is expected to receive a fat bonus as a result: "Well, Adrian Griffin is probably going to make some money, that's for sure, it's one of those weird things"

Rivers got the job thanks to the fact that his team has the second-best record in the East, behind the Boston Celtics, but coach Joe Mazzola was an All-Star coach last year and was prevented from doing so this season.
This will be Rivers' fourth All-Star appearance after having done so in 2008, 2011 and 2021.
"Maybe I'll send my team, and I'll go on vacation, I prefer that," Rivers added with a smile and continued: "I'm going to talk about it with Adam Silver. I think Adam is a good person. I think he'll understand."
Another person who was surprised by the appointment is Yannis Antetokounmpo who commented: "He's going to coach the game? It's pretty funny. We didn't even talk about it in the dressing room"
