Los Angeles Lakers superstar was voted into the NBA All-Star Game for a record.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was voted into the NBA All Star Game for a record 20th time on Thursday and was named among the 10 starters for next month’s 73rd All-Star Game. James, a four time NBA Most Valuable Player was named an All-Star for the 20th consecutive year. That streak began in 2005, his second NBA campaign. The 39 year-old playmaker, a four time NBA champion, broke the All Star Game record he shared with fellow Laker legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The NBA All Star Game will be played on February 18 in Indianapolis between the elite teams of the Eastern and Western Conferences. As the West’s leading scorer, James serves as captain and joins a starting lineup that also includes Phoenix Kevin Durant and Serbian center Nikola Jokic, a two time MVP for the defending champion Denver Nuggets. Western guards included Slovenian Luka Doncic of Dallas and Oklahoma City and Canadian Shai Gilgeous Alexander. Greek star Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks was named captain of the East, whose front-court starters also include Cameroon and reigning NBA MVP and this season’s leading scorer Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston93. s Jayson Tatum. 4,444 4,444 Eastern guards included Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, the NBA’s leader in assists, and Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard, who made his eighth All-Star appearance since being traded from Portland to the Bucks that offseason. The fan vote to determine the starters ended last Saturday. The fan vote provided 50 percent of the media panel and the NBA players 25 percent each. All-Star Game returns after many years East vs. West in a format where the top two vote-getters were named captains and consisted of other top vote-getters. The rosters for both teams will be released next Thursday, with all 30 NBA coaches selecting two guards, three frontcourt players and two other players from any position in their respective conferences. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver selects a replacement for a player who is unable to play in the All-Star Game and selects a replacement from the same conference.
