Even though we’ve already given you 21 great reasons to cast you vote to help Giannis Antetokounmpo become the first Milwaukee Bucks player to participate in the NBA All-Star Game since Michael Redd suited up for the 2003-04 exhibition, some of you may not be convinced he’s deserving of your vote. It seems you’d be in the minority. In the last two weeks, the Greek Freak has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, inspired chants on New York streets after hitting a buzzer-beater against the Knicks, and earned the fifth most All-Star votes from NBA fans (even though he’s losing votes on account of spelling errors).
Still, if another recent election has taught us nothing else, it’s to never ease off just because you think a candidate has it in the bag. Do you want to look back in horror and regret knowing you could’ve helped prevent Kristaps Porzingis earning a frontcourt nod instead of Giannis? To his credit, Antetokounmpo—excluding the game he missed due to illness—hasn’t been easing off his All-Star campaign. In fact, he’s been giving fans even more (and even more incredible) reasons to go to NBA.com and vote for him (or tweet Giannis Antetokounmpo #NBAVOTE). Since voting officially ends at 11 p.m. tonight, here are 13 of those reasons.
