Making his 21st All-Star Game appearance, LeBron James is breaking his own record of the most All-Star games in NBA history. James is also the all-time leading scorer in All-Star games with 434 career points. With two decades of All-Star games under his belt, James was selected for his first All-Star game in 2005 and has played every year since. He has won 3 All-Star game MVPs in 2006, 2008, and 2018 and has also captained his own team for the past 2 years. While many players work their entire careers to be named to an All-Star team, the All-Star game is a regular occurrence for LeBron who holds a plethora of All-Star career records.

The conversation regarding the greatest basketball player of all time may forever be up for debate, but one thing is certain, the discussion around who deserves such a coveted title will always include the name LeBron James. Now in his 22nd season in the NBA, James’ resume puts him on many NBA fans' basketball Mount Rushmore.

LeBron’s legacy began in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. As a high school phenom at St. Vincent - St. Mary, LeBron, and his teammates, dubbed the 'Fab Five,' led the school to three state championships in four years.

During his high school career, LeBron garnered national attention, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school junior in 2002 with the headline 'The Chosen One.' It was during this time that he also achieved such honors such as the 2002 Gatorade Player of the Year and the McDonald’s 2003 All-American MVP.

At 18 years old, LeBron James was selected first overall in the 2003 NBA draft, directly from high school, by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. At 19 years old, LeBron immediately making an impact upon entering the league, becoming the first player in franchise history and the youngest player in NBA history at the time to win the Rookie of the Year award.

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James is recognized as one of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball. Debuting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft. In his first seven seasons in the NBA, James led the Cavaliers to 50 or more wins on four separate occasions, including a franchise record 66-win season in 2008-09, collected two league MVPs, and led the Cavaliers to their first trip to the NBA Finals in 2007. However, LeBron and the Cavaliers would fail to bring a championship to Cleveland that year.

James’ move from his first NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to the Miami Heat in 2010 is considered one of the boldest free-agent decisions in sports history. After winning two NBA Championships in 2012 and 2013 for the Miami Heat, James returned to Cleveland. In 2016, he led the Cavaliers to their first NBA Championship, ending the city’s 52-year long professional sports title drought. After his 2020 Championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, he became the only player to win the NBA Finals MVP with three different teams.

At the time of cataloging, James has career averages of 27 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game and 7.4 assists per game. James is a 21-time All Star, 4-time MVP, 4-time Finals MVP, 2004 Rookie of the Year, 12-time All NBA 1st team, and a member of the 75th Anniversary Team. The NBA 75th Anniversary Team was selected by a blue-ribbon panel of players, coaches, general managers, and sportswriters who voted on the 75 Greatest Players in NBA History. Only 11 active players were selected for the team, including LeBron James.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game is set for San Francisco, marking the third time the Golden State Warriors have hosted this iconic event. The basketball world will gather in the Bay Area for an action-packed weekend, featuring the Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and Rising Stars Game, all leading up to the main event on Sunday, February 16.

This year’s All-Star Game brings together a mix of legendary superstars like LeBron James and Steph Curry, along with the league’s brightest young talents, including Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards.
