Question: Record for NBA All-Star Selections

February 26, 2021
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the NBA record with 19 All-Star selections.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected to 19 NBA All-Star Games during his career with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers—the most in league history. LeBron James trails with 17 selections and counting.

Abdul-Jabbar's All-Star streak spanned from 1970 to 1989, missing only three seasons across two decades. His iconic skyhook, durability, and consistent excellence made him a fixture in the midseason showcase throughout one of the longest careers in NBA history.
