The NBA recently announced the starters for the 2026 All-Star Game and there was someone missing… LeBron James. LeBron had been named an All-Star starter for 21 consecutive seasons, but that streak was broken as he was not selected by the fans this year.

When asked about the All-Star starter snub, LeBron gave his honest opinion on if it bothered him.
“No, not at all,” LeBron said. “I’m always grateful, for sure,” LeBron continued. “If I’m there, I’ll be there in attendance. If I’m not, I know I’ll be able to take full advantage of it. I know exactly what I’ll be doing. So, I’m good either way.”
LeBron was speaking on if he is selected as a reserve. He likely will, as he’s averaged 22.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game so far this season.
