No debating about this one - The Greek Freak is the leading vote-getter in the East and a frontrunner for the MVP this season. Giannis is averaging 26.5 ppg, 12.6 rpg, and 1.4 blocks per game this season and is leading a young and talented Bucks team as they are currently placed #1 in the Eastern Conference.

While everyone was talking about the Celtics, Raptors and the 76ers, Giannis has been balling out this season and has made the Bucks a serious contender to be the best in the east. Even without a jump shot in his arsenal, he is one one of the most effective players in the NBA - which revolves around the 3 point line today.

In my opinion, the Eastern Conference now belongs to Giannis after LeBron James moved to the Lakers. He's also an MVP candidate this season. Is there absolutely any reason why Giannis shouldn't be a starter in the 2019 All-Star Game?
