James was named for the 20th time in the All-Star game.

LeBron James became the 1st basketballer to be named to 20 All-Star selections today when he was picked for the Western Conference as part of the NBA’s unveiling of the ten starters for February’s All-Star Game in Indianapolis.

LeBron, who passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most All-Star nods in league history, was accompanied in the West starting 5 by Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, Suns’ Durant, Mavs’ Doncic, and OKC Gilgeous-Alexander.

In the East, Milwaukee Bucks center Giannis Antetokounmpo finished 1st in the vote and will play with Sixers reigning MVP Embiid, Celtics superstar Tatum, Pacers young star Haliburton and Giannis teammate Lillard.

It is 2nd All-Star pick and 1st start for Tyrese, who represents the hosting city, and for Shai.

LeBron, who is in his 21st NBA campaign, has been averaging almost 25 points, over 7 boards, and over 7 assists for the LA Lakers since the beginning of the season.
