LeBron James (41, Los Angeles Lakers), the living legend of the NBA, has set another milestone record. He was named to the All-Star roster for the 22nd consecutive year, breaking his own record for most All-Star selections in league history.
The NBA announced the 14-player All-Star reserve roster on January 2 (Korea time) for the 2025-2026 season, including James on the list.
James was excluded from the 10-player All-Star starting lineup for the first time in 22 years. The starters were selected through voting by fans (50%), players (25%), and media panels (25%).
However, he was included in the reserve roster, which is determined by head coaches from each team, allowing him to continue his historic streak.
"I'm truly honored and blessed," James said in a video released by the NBA.
Besides James, Jamal Murray (Denver), Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City), Jalen Johnson (Atlanta), Norman Powell (Miami), and Deni Avdija (Portland) earned their first All-Star selections.
The All-Star Game will be held on February 16 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
