Fans on social media have coined the nickname "Trillsap" for Paul Millsap since he arrived in Atlanta.
After being selected to his third straight All-Star Game, the nickname seems appropriate.
The NBA announced Thursday that coaches selected Millsap as one of seven Eastern Conference All-Star reserves. He's now been selected as an All-Star in each of his three seasons with our Club.
Millsap is averaging career-highs in points (18.3), rebounds (8.9), assists (3.5), blocks (1.4) and steals (1.9) this season while helping to guide us to a 27-20 record, good for third in the East. He's played and started in all but one of our 47 games.
The All-Star Game takes place on Feb. 14 at 8:30 p.m. ET in Toronto. Millsap and the East squad will be coached by Cavaliers Head Coach Tyronn Lue. You can watch live on TNT.
