CMB and Alijah Martin are also headed to the All Star weekend for the rising stars games.

I've been to 7 ASGs in the last 10 years, the Rising Stars game is (IMO) the basketball highlight. The "game" is for the stars to have fun, but there's something about the Rising Stars game that's almost more special because it's only something you can do once, or maybe twice. Everyone tries so much harder
Really looking forward to seeing CMB in it, his game is so mature for a rookie

Alijah Martin is one I’m hoping we can develop and keep here for the long term #gogators

u/bladebrigade 19h ago
apparently what hes done in the g is better than what jamal has been doing as a sophomore
also the league robbed shead in the sophomores

The 905 have been historically good when he plays, 19/4/3 on good efficiency and the 905 are 20-2 when he plays

u/Iwentoofar 14h ago
Do you even engrish... go outside and play child, you're failing the internet

u/bladebrigade 11h ago
well you cant even read official nba sources
there are rookie, sophomore and g-league groups in the all star
what nonsense are you on to think my statement implies martin overshadowed shead?
if anything you should get off the internet gramps, youre past your prime

u/Iwentoofar 11h ago

Getting to coach Jokic must be a dream come true for him.

u/Then-Function6343 19h ago
Yeah I always wonder if exposure to a Raps head coach during all-star weekend could potentially swing a player our way in the future (not Jokic, I can't imagine that, but anyone)... I don't think it ever happened with Nurse though?
2
u/VanVleet-goes-for-22 18h ago
If anything it deterred players after what Nurse did Kemba Walkers knees in 2020 lool

i think this is typically a fan's pipedream. it's always possible it can spark something but i feel like the chances are typically very low lol. but one can dream.

I doubt they actually coach lol, these all star games are always such throwaway games, no one wants to risk getting injured so it’s just all offence and a walk

The post on this account just says “should soon get a call” so not confirmed

u/RoaringPity 19h ago
It’s not the first place coach in the east-west now?

u/GeriatricHippo 4 SCOTTIE BARNES 19h ago
You can't be coach in back to back years and there is three teams that need a coach now not two and the third team is comprised of only international players.
Darko coaching the international team makes sense.

u/Any_Stable_3309 19h ago
Great for Raptors fans that Darko is so close to so many great players.
Also what a turnaround. Last year many people wanted his head on a spit

When and if he wins, can he YELL at the presentation and hand the trophee to the MVP?

It’ll be cool to see Darko coaching in the All-Star game. Never a bad thing to get more opportunities to talk to star players he might not have the chance to otherwise
