Luka rising to that top spot is another example of the next-level popularity that comes with being a member of the Lakers, combined with his outstanding performance this season.<\/p>\n<p>And for his part, Doncic doesn&#8217;t take this honor lightly, as thanked all of the fans who voted for him as an All-Star starter and allowing him to experience this huge achievement, via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SpectrumSN\/status\/2013805805599178862?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">Spectrum SportsNet<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI mean, it\u2019s pretty awesome. For me, I don\u2019t take it for granted. I want to thank everybody that voted for me. That\u2019s a big, big achievement for me, so it\u2019s incredible to live this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a kid who grew up loving the game of basketball, Luka is truly experiencing his dreams now, but those dreams don&#8217;t stop at the All-Star Game. Of course, Doncic&#8217;s ultimate goal is to win an NBA Championship and he made it clear that while it is a great honor, and very fun to play in the All-Star Game, once it&#8217;s over, the focus goes back to the Lakers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cObviously being an All-Star is an incredible honor. Those three days you can focus on All-Star, but then it\u2019s right back to the team. You\u2019re gonna play with guys you normally play against. It\u2019s kind of fun trying to learn what everybody do before the game, during the game, after the game. But just being an All-Star is a great honor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This year&#8217;s All-Star Game will be a bit different once again with the Team USA vs. the World format that will see a round-robin tournament featuring two teams of American players and a third international team that Doncic will be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>It will be fun seeing Luka team with the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama and Giannis Antetokounmpo. But as he said, once the games are finished and the fun is had, the focus turns back to leading the Lakers to the ultimate goal of an NBA Championship.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"lakers-lebron-james-shouts-out-luka-doncic-for-being-named-all-star-starter\">Lakers&#8217; LeBron James shouts out Luka Doncic for being named All-Star starter<\/h2>\n<p>While Doncic was the leading vote-getter for the All-Star Game, his Lakers teammate LeBron James saw his 21 year All-Star Game starter streak come to an end.
