The starters for the 72nd NBA All-Star game on Feb. 19 were locked in on Thursday with Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James being named an all-star for a record-tying 19th time and a captain for the sixth straight year.

Joining James out of the Western Conference will be two-time defending most valuable player (MVP) Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans high-flyer Zion Williamson, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic.
