LeBron James became the first player to ever be named to 20 All-Star teams Thursday night, when he was selected as a starter for the Western Conference All-Stars as part of the league's unveiling of the 10 starters for next month's All-Star Game in Indianapolis.

James, who surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most All-Star nods in NBA history with the selection, was joined in the Western Conference starting five by Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
