Well, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will have some friendly company at this year’s NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina next month.
It was officially revealed on Inside the NBA on TNT before the Bucks’ duel with the Toronto Raptors that Bucks swingman Khris Middleton has been named a reserve for this year’s NBA All-Star Game by way of the coaches’ vote.
This will mark the first All-Star appearance of Middleton’s seven-year career.
Along with that, this will be the first time the Bucks will have multiple All-Stars in the same year since both Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson soaked up the All-Star spotlight together back in the 2001 edition in Washington D.
