NBA All-Star Game 2018-19: Ranking All-Star MVP Frontrunners
The All-Star Game is one of the most awaited basketball events for the fans and NBA lovers from all around the league watch it with high enthusiasm. This year's All-Star Game will take place at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
Team LeBron will face Team Giannis this year and the event promises to be a visual treat to fans. The 4-time MVP will be in the All-Star Game for the 15th straight year tying Kobe Bryant's record of 15 total starts at the All-Star Game.
There are several players in the league who are touted as the favourites to win the All-Star Game MVP award.
In this article, we take a look at three players who have the highest chance of getting their hands on the trophy.
#1 Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo has achieved so much in very small amount of time. The 24-year-old has taken the Milwaukee Bucks to a whole another level and they are currently one of the strongest teams in the league.
He is currently the MVP front-runner and the league doesn't seem to have any answer for the 'Greek Freak'. The forward is averaging a career-high 26.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.
It is worth noting that he won the Most Improved Player in 2017 and after just two seasons, he has already transitioned into an MVP front-runner.
The Bucks are leading the association at 37-13 and are expected to clinch the first seed in Eastern Conference. Giannis will play in his third All-Star Game this year and will also be the captain of his side.
He has received 3,626,909 fan votes at this year's All-Star voting which is the highest number of votes for an Eastern Conference player.
