LeBron James has earned his 19th All-Star selection in 20 NBA seasons, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most in league history. He also became the only player to be selected 19 straight times.

It’ll be Team LeBron vs. Team Giannis when the 2023 NBA All-Star game tips off Feb. 19 in Salt Lake City, as the NBA announced the captains and the eight other All-Star Game starters Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers star will serve as a captain for the sixth straight year after receiving the most votes of any player in the Western Conference; Team LeBron has won the past five All-Star games.
