LeBron James was not voted a starter for the NBA All-Star Game for the first time since his rookie season, snapping a record-setting streak.

For the first time in over two decades, LeBron James has not been voted an All-Star starter. A trio of former MVPs join Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama for the West. The East sports three first-time starters along with Giannis and Jalen Brunson.

BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything explains why LeBron James could still feature despite missing out as a starter for the first time since 2004.

James has been named the All-Star game MVP three times — in 2006, 2008 and 2018. Cavs All-NBA guard Donovan Mitchell was snubbed as a starter for the Eastern Conference team. The All-Star starters were announced shortly before the Cavs and Thunder tipped off at Rocket Arena on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James had no reaction to his 21-year streak of being an NBA All-Star Game starter coming to an end.

One of LeBron James' more impressive streaks will end with this season's NBA All-Star Game.
