“I appreciate my fans who have been with me throughout this 21-year journey. I feel fortunate to be able to do what I love and try to give back to the game that has given me so much over two decades,” James said.
In addition to the Los Angeles Lakers star, Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder) will be part of the Western Conference All-Star Game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) received the most votes in the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers) and Damian Lillard, teammate of the Greek national team, succeeded the starting lineup reached the finish line.
