LeBron James is extending his NBA All-Star records, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is the people’s choice.

Again.

On Thursday night, the league revealed the starters — some of them, anyway — for the revamped NBA All-Star Game, and there wasn’t much in the way of surprises. In his sixth season with the Los Angeles Lakers, James is now officially an All-Star for the 21st year, and Milwaukee Bucks big man Antetokounmpo is now the ninth player to win the fan vote in back-to-back seasons.

The other starters:

— Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks) and Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) as the Eastern Conference guards.
