The NBA All-Star Game is a unique opportunity to showcase the best players in the NBA. However, it is not without its share of controversy. Last night, the All-Star Game announced its lineup. Amongst the top ten players to appear in the All-Star game is LeBron James. This is no surprise considering the overwhelming fan support he enjoys. It is also a sign of the popularity of the NBA around the world.

While most of the most notable all-star selections are made by perennial stars, there are several others who have received a few special nods. In fact, only one player has been selected to the All-Star game in three or more different seasons. Other than this enigmatic player, there are actually five other All-Stars who have appeared in more than six games.

For the most part, these players have been able to capitalize on their All-Star status, even in their off-seasons. In particular, Stephen Curry has been able to thrive while injured. Aside from his exemplary playing skills, he is also a popular choice among voters.

Another player who has been a mainstay in the All-Star Game is James Harden. The two-time MVP has been a fixture at the event, and he has received high praise from fans and media alike. One of the reasons he is such a popular choice is that he has played a large part in the Miami Heat's two championships in the 2012-2013 and 2015-2016 seasons.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected to the All-Star game more times than any other player. He has been named to the game 19 times in his 20-year career. During that time, he has accumulated a number of other notable stats. Not only has he set the All-Star record for most points, but he has also averaged 4.5 rebounds per game during that time.

Other players who have earned multiple All-Star selections include Kevin Durant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Tim Duncan. While Durant and O'Neal are arguably the most talented of the group, they haven't been able to snag a title as of yet.

Another lauded basketball player is Dirk Nowitzki. He's had a number of All-Star appearances, including four in his rookie season. But he's hardly a legend, as his shooting percentages have declined over the past few years. Still, the former Phoenix star has been able to generate high fan support, and it's possible that he'll be able to add to that count in the future.

In the meantime, the other aforementioned all-star has been Larry Foust. He's made eight All-Star games during his career, which makes him the most prolific All-Star to have ever played in the NBA. Yet he hasn't been able to make the Hall of Fame.

When it comes to the all-star game, however, the real test is whether or not a player's name and reputation will propel him to more games. There are a number of reasons why a player might not earn such a nod, and while it's easy to chalk this up to the changing rules in the league, it's not necessarily a bad idea to try.
