The NBA revealed the 2024 All-Star Game starters on Thursday night, with Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James leading the pack with his record-breaking 20th straight selection. James has been a starter since 2005, his second season in the league, and broke his tie with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most selections in league history ( X link via NBA PR).

James and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will serve as captains. Joining James in the Western Conference starters are Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, Denver Nuggets forward Nikola Jokic, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. James is captain for a seventh straight year.

Joining Antetokounmpo as Eastern Conference All-Star starters are Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, Bucks guard Damian Lillard, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.

Thursday’s selections signaled multiple milestones for players. Antetokounmpo’s making his eighth career start and was the top vote-getter. Lillard is making his first career All-Star start. Haliburton is the fourth player in Pacers history to be named an All-Star starter, joining Paul George, Reggie Miller and Jermaine O’Neal (X link). Embiid is a starter after not being so last year. Tatum is making his fifth All-Star Game.

Meanwhile in the west, Doncic set the Mavs’ franchise record with four All-Star Game starts. Jokic was first place in player and media voting en route to his sixth straight selection. Gilgeous-Alexander is making his first start. Durant is making his 14th All-Star appearance.

The starters are selected by a weighted voting process with the fan vote accounting for half of the final outcome. The player and media portions of the vote each counted for 25% Three frontcourt players and two guards were selected from each conference.

This year, the league is returning to the East vs. West format, so these players are suiting up for their respective conferences in the 73rd NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 18.

The reserves, who are picked by the league’s coaches, will be announced Feb. 1.
