The Brazilian Basketball All-Star Game will only be held on March 21st and 22nd, but two months before , players have already been selected as team captains. Therefore, Jhonatan Luz, Flamengo athlete, was chosen to be the representative of NBB Brasil.
“It's an honor to be captain of the All-Star Game. I've had the opportunity to play a time and I won. Being captain, we're going to look for victory. It's the title that matters. It's also a responsibility for being the oldest," said Jhonatan Luz, after the announcement made by Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
Jhonatan Luz will compete in the NBB All-Star Game for the second time in his career. The Flamengo player debuted at the event in 2023, in Belo Horizonte, and was also chosen as captain of one of the teams, when he defended the colors of Sesi Franca.
THE FOUR CAPTAINS
Therefore, Jhonatan Luz will be one of the four captains of the event. Georginho, from Sesi Franca, will lead NBB Brasil alongside the Flamengo athlete. Corderro Bennett, from São Paulo, will lead the NBB Mundo, while Reynan, from Pinheiros, will be the captain of the NBB Jovens Estrelas.
WHAT WILL THE TOURNAMENT BE LIKE?
The All-Star Game will feature with two teams from NBB Brasil, one from NBB Mundo and one from Novas Estrelas, with captains already defined. The NBB itself will carry out the draw to define the semi-final clashes. Finally, the clashes will have two halves of six minutes each, with no dispute for third place.

FlaBasquete, the current Champions League Americas champion, begins its quest for a third world championship this Thursday (18). With titles won in 2014 and 2022, the red-black team arrives at the 2025/26 season with the clear objective of repeating the feat in Singapore and consolidating itself as a global basketball powerhouse.
To achieve this goal, Flamengo formed a revamped squad, blending experienced players with promising young talents who embody the club's winning DNA. Argentine coach Sérgio Hernández, known as "Oveja," took over the team midway through last season and has already won the Champions League Americas.
FlaBasquete invested heavily to strengthen its roster. Among the reinforcements are Daniel Onwenu (formerly of Corinthians), Argentine Franco Baralle (formerly of Pinheiros), Wesley Castro, and Eric Buckner . The arrival of Dee Bost, an American point guard who became a naturalized Bulgarian, was a response to Baralle's injury, as he suffered an accident and will be out for the season.
With experience and versatility, Bost arrives to be a leader in decisive moments . Despite the departures of key players like Franco Balbi and Gallizzi, expectations are high for the team's performance at the World Cup.
Flamengo makes its World Cup debut this Thursday (18), at 6 am (Brasília time), facing the NBA G-League United team, from the United States. The match will be broadcast on Flamengo TV . The red-black nation is eager to follow the team in its quest for its third world championship , which could once again put Flamengo basketball at the top of the global stage.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
