The league has revealed which players have been selected for NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Despite speculation that LeBron James may not be named The Los Angeles Lakers star has been assigned 22nd consecutive in his career.

As he sat in the locker room preparing for Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks, James shared his reaction to be named an All-Star again. The 41-year-old forward claimed to feel “blessed” and “honored,” but certainly seemed more focused on the game against the Knicks.

“22 in a row… No, not bad. Blessed, honored, indeed.”

The only season in which James was not named an All-Star in his 23-year career was his rookie year in 2003-04. Granted, he won Rookie of the Year that season, but failed to make the All-Star game. But since then, there hasn’t been an All-Star Game without one LeBron James in it. He holds the record for most All-Star appearances after passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 19 appearances in 2022.

Sunday’s game against the Knicks will be James’ 31st contest of the season. In the 30 games he played in, the former four-time champion still put up solid numbers. He enters New York averaging 21.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game while shooting 50.2% from the field and 32.8% from the three-point line.

The NBA All-Star break is scheduled to begin on February 14. The draft will be held on February 6th to determine which players will be on which teams for the All-Star game, which will be announced on February 15th. We should expect LeBron James to see some action, but it’s unclear how much playing time he will get.
