JT had to make sure his tweet/vote counted, so he had to send out another post with the proper hashtags.

Timberlake sent out multiple tweets urging everyone to vote Ja Morant as a starter for the 2022 All-Star Game. He included links to vote on the NBA app, the website and more.
He also tweeted highlights of Morant against the Lakers, including what many are calling the block of the year in the NBA.
Fans saw the 6’3″ point guard chase down Avery Bradley to not just block his shot, but catch the ball with two hands out of thin air before it made it’s downward trajectory in the hoop.
Morant has been absolutely spectacular this season and has helped propel the team to a record of 28-14, surpassing all expectations from fans, experts and insiders. The South Carolina native is averaging 24.7 ppg, 6.7 apg and 5.8 rpg so far this season for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Morant currently sits in third-place among Western Conference guards based on the first batch of NBA All-Star voting returns.
