In 2024, LeBron James played in his 20th All-Star Game, setting a record, just one year after becoming the player with the most fan vote leads, surpassing Michael Jordan.

Aside from LeBron and MJ, only 16 other players have been No. 1 in the All-Star fan vote since it began in 1975. (Prior to that, the starting players were selected by NBA coaches.)
