A trio of Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famers are among the four coaches who will serve as honorary head coaches for the Castrol Rising Stars.

The NBA announced Tim Hardaway Sr., Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond — all of whom are former Golden State Warriors players — will serve as honorary coaches as will former NBA player and Warriors guard Jeremy Lin. The Castrol Rising Stars will be televised on TNT and takes place Feb. 14 at 9 p.m. ET at Chase Center.

The event, which showcases 28 young, standout players, features a mini-tournament with four teams and three games. The champion of the event will earn a spot to play in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game (Feb. 16, 8 p.m. ET on TNT).

Hardaway, Mullin and Richmond teamed up to comprise the “Run TMC”-era teams in Golden State from 1988-91 that were known for their high-scoring ways and flashy style. Each is in the Hall of Fame, with Hardaway being the most recent player enshrined (2022).

Lin played for the Warriors in 2010-11 and crafted a nine-season NBA career despite going undrafted out of Harvard.
