At the 2018 NBA All Star Game, who was the head coach of Team Steph?

The story behind the answer

At the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, Mike D’Antoni was the head coach of Team Steph.

The 2018 game introduced a new format: instead of the Eastern Conference playing the Western Conference, Stephen Curry and LeBron James served as captains and drafted teammates from the All-Star pool. Because Curry represented the Western Conference, the eligible coach from that conference led Team Stephen. D’Antoni earned the assignment after the Houston Rockets secured the conference’s best eligible record.

Steve Kerr, Curry’s coach with the Golden State Warriors, was not eligible because he had coached the Western Conference in the 2017 All-Star Game. Dwane Casey of the Toronto Raptors coached Team LeBron.

The game took place on February 18, 2018, at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Team LeBron won 148–145, with LeBron James earning MVP honors. The event was also notable because it was the first NBA All-Star Game played under the captain-draft format, which later became a recurring feature of the event.
