Twitter Is Dishing Out Emojis for NBA All-Star Weekend, and Rocking the Vote

Hashtag-triggered emojis are available through Feb. 20 for all 24 NBA All-Stars and Turner Sports on-air personalities

You get an emoji, you get an emoji, everyone gets an emoji! Twitter Friday unveiled emojis for all 24 National Basketball Association All-Stars, as well as Turner Sports’ on-air personalities.

The hashtag-triggered emojis are activated by using players’ or Turner Sports personalities’ first name and last name in hashtags—#StephenCurry, #LebronJames, etc.֫—with the exceptions of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shaquille O’Neal, who merely require #giannis and #shaq, respectively. They will be available through Feb. 20.

Fans can also vote for the Kia NBA All-Star MVP Award exclusively via Twitter during a 30-minute window starting in the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s game in New Orleans, also via hashtags—#KiaAllStarMVP and #FirstNameLastName.
