LeBron James' Record NBA All-Star Starter Streak Broken

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James will not be in the opening lineup when the NBA All-Star Game tips off next month, ending a record 21-year run in which he was selected as a starter. The NBA announced on Monday the 10 players voted as starters ​for the mid-season showcase, and James was notably absent from ‍the ⁠starting lineup for the first time since his ‍rookie campaign. James sat out last year's All-Star Game due to foot and ankle discomfort, which marked the first time he had been selected but did not play in the star-studded event.
