Using the hashtag #GreekFreak and #NBAVOTE doesn't count as an All-Star vote for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks forward is still racking up plenty of votes.
In fact, the 22-year-old star is trailing only LeBron James in All-Star voting among Eastern Conference frontcourt players. What if Antetokounmpo had a last name that was easier to spell, like James, Thomas, Love, or Butler?

Turns out Antetokounmpo's vote does, in fact, total capture "common misspellings" of the name as long as #NBAVOTE is also included in the tweet. If fans don't want to copy and paste Antetokounmpo's name from the Internet, they can simply use his Twitter handle (@Giannis_An34) to cast a vote.
