The Giannis Antetokounmpo Effect

Antetokounmpo has played himself into consideration for a starting role at the NBA All-Star game next month in New Orleans.  He’s currently second among Eastern Conference front court players behind Cleveland’s LeBron James.

“He should be there, no question about it,” center Greg Monroe told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “He’s definitely playing at an all-star level. It’s just making sure we’re doing the things we need to do as a team so there’s a spot for him in the All-Star Game.

“He’s been working on his game nonstop. You can see it; the stuff he does night in and night out, the energy he brings and the plays he makes for himself and others. It’s just a testament to how hard he’s been working.”

Along with teammate Jabari Parker, Antetokounmpo is converting the long lackluster Bucks into a top competitor in the NBA.
