NBA legend LeBron James' record 21-year All-Star starter streak has officially ended, with the league announcing its 2026 starters today. At 41, the Lakers star misses the starting lineup for the first time since his rookie season in 2004. 📉
While averaging 22.6 points per game (his lowest since 2003-04), James could still make the reserves when selections drop February 1. His recent 8-point game against Toronto broke another streak – 1,200+ consecutive double-digit performances. 😮
Young guns dominate this year's lineup: Luka Dončić leads the West with 3.4M fan votes and a league-topping 33.3 PPG, while Giannis Antetokounmpo secures his 10th straight East start with 3.2M votes. 🏆
Mark your calendars: The 2026 All-Star Game tips off February 15 at LA's new Intuit Dome – the Clippers' $2B high-tech arena. Will LeBron make a surprise reserve appearance? Stay tuned! 🗓️🔥
