LeBron arrived in San Francisco, but did not play in the All-Star Tournament, ending a 20-year streak

LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he surprised the public when, an hour before the start of the All-Star tournament, which was ultimately won by Shaquille O'Neal's team, he announced that he would not participate.

"The King" arrived in San Francisco and was part of the basketball players' presentation, but an hour before the start of the game, he announced that he would not play due to an injury.

"I'm still feeling some pain in my foot and ankle. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play tonight. I was hoping I'd feel better when I woke up, but it wasn't what I had hoped for. With 30 games left for the Lakers in the regular season and our desire to go as far as possible, I feel like I have to take care of myself," LeBron explained.

By the way, with this cancellation, LeBron ended a 20-year streak in which he was always part of the All-Star Games.
