Now just a few days away from All-Star voting coming to a close for another year, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s spot among the NBA’s true elite remains secure.
The Milwaukee Bucks superstar currently ranks third in overall voting, but while there’s a hotly contested race among the top-three vote-getters in the Western Conference, Giannis is facing no such pressure in the East.

In a fashion befitting of the gap between the Bucks and the rest of the chasing pack in the East, Antetokounmpo is head and shoulders above any other Eastern Conference player, not just in his play but it seems to be in his popularity too.
