The Push Is On To Make Middleton & Bledsoe All-Stars
With the NBA All-Star Game, it is all about campaigning sometimes. You want to campaign to make sure it is known that your guy deserves to be there. Giannis Antetokounmpo and a few others in the media are making it known that Bucks need more than one All-Star. Giannis campaigned for both Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe after the game on Tuesday plus Kendrick Perkins of ESPN had one of the better takes out there about Midds. I would be shocked if Milwaukee, a team with a 36-6 record at the time of posting, does not have two All-Stars. They deserve two, and you could make a case for three.
"Let's get @Khris22m and @EBled2 to the All-Star Game. Please. And, let's get @pconnaughton to the dunk contest. – @Giannis_An34 after tonight's win over the Knicks.

This is for all the typical fans out here criticizing Khris Middleton saying he shouldn’t be an All-Star who’s averaging almost 20 points a game and shooting almost 50 percent from the field on the Best team in the NBA!!! Its No way the Bucks don’t have 2 All-Stars this year!!!

Loved the Celtics fans in Perk’s mentions saying they need three All-Stars. Maybe don’t lose to fucking Detroit by double-digits at home then we can talk. The players and coaches recognize Middleton. He doesn’t need fans of other teams to give him the credit. The fan vote is a fun thing, but it is only a small part of how things are done for All-Stars. As for Bledsoe, I don’t know if he has enough. The injury hurts his case plus the swath of good point guards in the league. If he goes on a heater in the next two weeks, who knows, maybe he sneaks in.
