The NBA's Most Frequently Selected All-Stars
Being selected to an NBA All-Star Game is one of basketball's most recognizable individual honors. Earning that distinction 10 or more times places a player among a relatively small group of stars who maintained an elite level of performance over many seasons.
LeBron James leads the list with 22 selections, followed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 19 and Kobe Bryant with 18. Other members of this group include Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
The table below preserves the selection totals and years recorded in NBAHoopsOnline's original list. Players are organized by number of selections, with ties retained in the original order.
