The All-Star weekend does provide fans with some exciting moments from the Slam Dunk Contest to the All-Star game itself. Here we take a look at the five scorers in NBA All-Star Games.

#1 LeBron James

LeBron James has played in 14 NBA all-star games since he was drafted into the NBA back in 2003 by the Cleveland Cavaliers. James is the 5th highest scorer in the NBA all time and is perhaps less than three seasons worth of games from catching and surpassing the scoring record set by one Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In order to claim that record in that time frame, James must maintain his current scoring pace.

James is now 33 years old and has not been any less an explosive scorer when playing in the NBA All-Star game. In his 14 all-star appearances, LeBron James has scored 343 points.

This gives him an average of 24.5 points per All-Star game. This ties him with Anthony Davis for the highest scoring average among players who have played in three or more All-Star games. James’ scoring average during his NBA career (regular season) is 27.2 points per game. James has also won 3 all-star MVP awards.
