First established in 1951, and held every year except 1999, the NBA All-Star Game is an exhibition match designed to showcase the league's best 24 players.
Selection to the NBA All-Star team, which is done by a process of combining fan votes, player votes and media votes, is widely regarded as a career-defining achievement. It brings an acknowledgement of a player's greatness within their peer group.
Some players might only make ever get one selection during their time in the league, while others have made it a habit of making an appearance.
Last year, LeBron James equalled the record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most NBA All-Star selections in history after getting his 19th nod.
After being selected for the 20th time on Thursday (25 January 2024), James now sits alone on top of the all time ranking.
Other greats, including the late Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, received 18 and 14 selections respectively.
