Final push in Kyle Lowry's All-Star campaign included iPhone giveaway
Kyle Lowry's road to the 2016 All-Star Game may have been made a little bit smoother thanks to Lewis Hilsenteger.
Creator of the online show "Unbox Therapy," Hilsenteger offered to give a free iPhone 6s to a random person who retweeted his attempt to help the Toronto Raptors point guard's All-Star campaign:
Giving this iPhone to someone who helps vote @Klow7 onto NBA All Star Team - Just RT this tweet! #NBAVote RT RT RT! pic.twitter.com/jZDddCiCFS

Ultimately, the tweet, which had 37K retweets, might not have counted for anything because it was the second voting tweet sent out from Hilsenteger that day:
Apparently my tweet yesterday for @Klow7 may not be valid since it was 2nd tweet of the day on my acct. That’s 33K votes that may not count!

So what did he do? Raised the stakes by offering three iPhones:
Stakes = Raised. Giving away 3 iPhones! Vote @Klow7 for All Star. RT to cast your vote & enter! #NBAVote @Raptors pic.twitter.com/w0lP0lHKSS

Now that's love.
