Seven former Wildcats named NBA All-Stars, breaking single season league record

The 2023-24 round of All-Star selections in the NBA saw history made by former Wildcats, with seven familiar faces earning All-Star notches to shatter the record for the most selections from one school in a single season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the only former Wildcat to earn a starting spot on an All-Star team, with Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns, Julius Randle, Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo and Tyrese Maxey earning spots as All-Star reserves.

The achievement broke the previous record of four selections from one school in a single season, which was set by UCLA in 1983 and matched by the Wildcats twice since then.
