The Milwaukee Bucks have two players going to the All-Star game this season: Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
Just like last season, Antetokounmpo will be a captain with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
Middleton joked with Bucks reporters on Thursday about being upset with Giannis if the reigning MVP doesn't pick him first in the All-Star draft:
"I won't lie, I'd be pretty upset if my teammate doesn't pick me first." – @Khris22m, on if he expects Giannis to take him first again among reserves

Life is pretty good for Giannis, Middleton and the Bucks right now. Milwaukee is 41-6 on the season and has the best record in the NBA.
Giannis is averaging 30.0 points, 12.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists on the season, while Middleton is putting up 20.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
All signs point toward the Bucks going on a deep playoff run. Now that Kawhi Leonard is in the Western Conference, many believe the East is the Bucks' to lose. Milwaukee lost to Leonard and the Toronto Raptors in six games in the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals after taking a 2-0 series lead.
