Now that the 2018 NBA All-Star Game teams have been selected by captains Stephen Curry and LeBron James, Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni has been named coach of "Team Stephen."

D'Antoni was named head coach for Curry's team after the Rockets secured the best record in the West through games played on Feb. 4 among teams coached by eligible candidates. The Rockets are sitting second in the Western Conference with a 34-13 record, behind the Warriors at 39-10, but Golden State's head coach Steve Kerr was ineligible since he coached the West in last year's All-Star Game.

This is the first year of a new format for the All-Star Game where the player with the most All-Star votes from each conference was named captain and selected his own team. The coaching staffs are selected based on their teams' winning percentages, and the coach of the team with the best record will lead the team that includes the captain from the same conference.

D'Antoni earned All-Star Game head coaching honors for the second time. He coached in the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, when he led the Western Conference past the Eastern Conference 153-132 while he was head coach of the Suns.

In his second season with Houston, D'Antoni has an 89-40 record with the Rockets. D'Antoni has coached in the NBA for 14 seasons with five different teams and has a career coaching record of 544-466 (.539).

While the coach of James' team has yet to be determined, Celtics coach Brad Stevens is not eligible because he coached the East last season, and since the second-place Raptors have a four-game lead on the Cavaliers ahead of Saturday's games, Toronto coach Dwane Casey is on track for the honors.

The NBA All-Star Game is set for Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. ET at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
