NBA All-Star Celebrity Game rosters: Giannis to coach Shams Charania

[ASFN Admin]

The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is back, but with a fascinating twist. Giannis Antetokounmpo will coach a team featuring Shams Charania, the ESPN insider who reported on the Milwaukee Bucks star potentially being dealt before last week's trade deadline.

That could very well be an awkward situation. Giannis won't be handling all the coaching alone, however, as he'll be joined by his brothers, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Alex Antetokounmpo. Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is also on Team Antetokounmpo's coaching staff, for some reason.

Team Antetokounmpo will be facing off against a team coached by actor Anthony Anderson and basketball skills trainers Lethal Shooter and Chris Brickley. Anderson -- who's starred in the cinematic classics Kangaroo Jack and Transformers -- has appeared in several Celebrity Games before, but this is his first time coaching.
