Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has been selected to be one of the coaches in the NBA All-Star Game. However, the young specialist doesn't seem to be very thrilled about it.

When he was asked what it means to him being selected as the coach of Team Giannis, Mazzulla was straightforward.

"Nothing," he answered. "Really happy for our staff. I think it will be a great experience for our family, it looks really cool."

"Since this all started, our staff has really been able to come together and work hard together and just kind of figure it out. Really happy for them and it just says a lot about our team," Mazzulla continued. "We've been able to sustain a level of play for a long period of time and we just have to continue that. Blessed and happy for our families to be able to have that opportunity."

The specialist was later asked a few more questions, his answers to which were pretty similar to the first one.

Asked to comment on how he feels about the change that the teams will be selected just before the tip-off, Mazzulla said he doesn't care.

- How do you coach that?
- You don't.
- You just stand there and look pretty?
- Yeah, I don't care about those.

With 36 wins and 15 losses, the Celtics currently have the best record in the league and lead the Eastern Conference by a two-game margin over the Milwaukee Bucks.
