Los Angeles Lakers star has stated that it is an ‘absolute honour’ to become a part of the NBA All-Star game for 20 seasons.
The 39-year-old became the first player ever to feature in the All-Star game 20 times when he took the court while representing the West side in Utah.
Talking before the match, James stated that it was not but ‘absolute honour’ to achieve one of his childhood dreams.
“I think as a kid growing up and loving the game of basketball and watching the NBA All-Star weekend and seeing the Sunday game, I always had dreams and visions if I was able to play the game at a high level and give everything to the game, hopefully I could be a part of that game someday,” he said.
“It's just been an absolute honor to be able to grace the floor throughout my career and be out there with the greatest players in the world year in and year out.”
James’ record outing did not go as per plan as his side suffered a defeat against the East in a high-scoring affair with a score of 211-186. The Ohio-born played just 14 minutes on the court where he registered eight points to go with four rebounds and three assists.
