Lakers' LeBron James has astounding 21-year streak end with All-Star voting results

LeBron James has all sorts of astounding NBA records.

One of them? The Los Angeles Lakers' superstar has started 21 consecutive All-Star Games.

That won't become 22 in a row, though.

The Western Conference's five All-Star starters were announced on Monday as:

• Luka Doncic
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
• Stephen Curry
• Nikola Jokic
• Victor Wembanyama

Technically, James could end up on the roster and then end up starting in case of injury or as some other kind of ceremonial procedure. There's also the interesting case of the new format including two U.S. teams and one World team, so that'll be more U.S. "starting spots" available, with it being unclear how that could affect a streak like this.

But the voting has spoken for now, and James won't be on the court to start the All-Star Game.

After missing the beginning of the season with injury, James has actually put together a very strong season despite turning 41 years old on Dec. 30.

LeBron is averaging 22.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 50.9% from the floor.

He shows his age less than you'd ever think, consistently putting in the work away from the court to be ready to go when the ball goes up.

James will almost certainly be at the All-Star Game in some form, but for now, his streak is over.
