Giannis Antetokounmpo (2017, ’18, ’19)
As a starter in his All-Star debut in New Orleans in 2017, Giannis Antetokounmpo ended a lengthy All-Star drought for the franchise, and set the bar higher than any Bucks player had ever previously managed in an All-Star Game before.
In spite of playing just 22 minutes, Antetokounmpo racked up an All-Star game franchise record of 30 points, leading the Eastern Conference’s team in scoring.
For good measure, the Greek Freak also added six rebounds, three steals, an assist and a block, while shooting 14-of-17 from the field.
Antetokounmpo’s follow up was impressive, too. In 2018, Antetokounmpo racked up 16 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
Heading into his third appearance in the game, the 24-year-old is a perfect 3-for-3 on starts, and now moves into a new class of his own as the East’s leading vote-getter and an All-Star captain.
It remains to be seen what Giannis has in store for NBA fans on Sunday night, but he’s already building a formidable All-Star legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
