Los Angeles Lakers icon LeBron James' NBA record of 21 consecutive All-Star selections as a starter has ended after he finished eighth in fan voting in the Western Conference.
Picked for the 10th straight time, Giannis Antetokounmpo now holds the NBA's longest active streak for consecutive All-Star selections as a starter.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama earned his first All-Star Game start after being selected as a reserve for last season's event. He finished tied for overall votes with Anthony Edwards this year but was chosen as a starter after edging the Minnesota Timberwolves superstar in the final fan vote.

The All-Star Game will have a different feel this year, with a revised round-robin tournament format comprised of three teams of eight players. Two squads will represent the United States, while a third will feature international players. The top two teams based on record will advance to the championship game.
Five of the international spots have now been claimed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), Nikola Jokic (Serbia), Luka Doncic (Slovenia), Wembanyama (France), and Antetokounmpo (Greece).
Head coaches will vote for the seven reserves from each conference. If the selection process doesn't pick 16 American and eight international players, commissioner Adam Silver will make additions and substitutions to fill out the rosters.
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game takes place Feb. 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
