Starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star game were announced on Thursday night and the Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokić was named as a frontcourt starter for the Western Conference. Jokić will join Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers in the West frontcourt while Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder will man the backcourt for the West.
The starting lineups for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who received more than 4.4 million votes from fans, the most of any player. The leading vote-getter among Western Conference All-Stars was Nikola Jokić.
Nikola Jokic expressed that Lakers and Clippers misunderstood Russell Westbrook and didn't allow him to play to his strengths.
Unfortunately, only one of the Lakers' two superstars were named an All-Star starter in 2025. Popularity admittedly plays a part, and LeBron James continues to be the most recognizable NBA player on the planet—thus resulting in an inevitable selection.
James' total All-Star Game selections are two more than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most by any player in NBA history, and his streak of 21 consecutive years being named a starter is eight more than the next-longest of 13 by Bob Cousy.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 117-96 thumping of the defending champion Boston Celtics on Thursday.
