LeBron James named an NBA All-Star, record streak continues
yahoo -

One of the most impressive records in NBA history lives on.

The NBA announced this year's All-Star Game reserves before the debut of NBC's "Sunday Night Basketball" and LeBron James – not voted a starter for the first time since his rookie season two weeks ago – kept his record streak going and was named an All-Star for the 22nd consecutive year.)

James, 41, saw his other record of 20 consecutive All-Star appearances end last season when he was a last-minute scratch from the game due to ankle and foot soreness. He's also the All-Star Game's scoring leader with 434 points.

There is a chance for James to be a "starter" in an unofficial sense in this year's game due to the new format – three teams of at least eight players will compete in a "USA vs. the World" round robin-style tournament.

Here's the full list of this year's All-Stars:
