The coach from Córdoba will join the basketball party in the best league in the world as an assistant.
Argentine National Team coach Pablo Prigioni will be part of the NBA’s Western Conference All-Star team. The man from Córdoba will form the coaching staff with Chris Finch, technical director of the Minnesota Timberwoles, one of the most outstanding teams of the season. This is the first time that a coach from our country is part of the annual party of NBA players.
The All Star will be held from the 16th to the 18th of this month at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and the teams already know their stars. The starters of each of the teams, as well as the substitutes. On Sunday night, it was made official that Finch will be the coach in charge of the Western conference team. Last night’s win against the Hawks was all he needed to confirm his presence in the all-star game. Pablo Prigioni will come to his hand, who is currently in charge of organizing the offensive sector of the team.
Prigioni is the second Argentine to attend the All Star Game. Manu Ginobili from Bahia has been part of the celebration twice (2005 and 2011), when he was part of the San Antonio Spurs. This is the first time that a coach from our country joins a coaching staff. Pablo’s first steps as technical director were at Baskonia. He didn’t last long there, resigning within weeks of taking office. At the time, the story went viral that the team’s players went to Cordoban’s house to ask him to stay in his position, but Pablo’s decision had already been made.
