Milwaukee Bucks: Players Who Will Play In Future All-Star Games
The Milwaukee Bucks broke a 12-year streak this season and sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the All-Star Game. Can Milwaukee continue sending players to the league’s biggest stage?
The NBA takes a week off this time each year to catch its breath, taking a break from the grind of the regular season to both relax and recognize their very best at All-Star Weekend. For the first time since 2004 when guard Michael Redd made the squad, the Milwaukee Bucks will be represented in the All-Star Game by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The “Greek Freak” is well deserving of the honor, putting up career numbers in his breakout season. Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Pull up a Milwaukee stats page and it reads like an homage to a player, not a team.
