LeBron James was named an All-Star for the 19th time in his career and a captain for the sixth time. His 19th straight selection passes Kobe Bryant for most all-time and his 19th overall selection ties him with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most selections in NBA history.
James led all players in All-Star voting for the seventh consecutive season and the 10th time overall.
A three-time NBA All-Star Game MVP and the contest’s all-time leading scorer, James has started an NBA-record 18 straight All-Star games and has been named a captain in every year since the NBA switched to the current format, holding a perfect 5-0 record as the team captain.
Fans accounted for 50% of the vote to determine the starters for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. Current NBA players and a media panel accounted for 25% each. See full voting results.
TNT will announce the All-Star reserves, as selected by NBA head coaches, on Thursday, Feb. 2 during TNT NBA Tip-Off.
