Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari's players — current and former — continue to receive accolades.

Seven former Wildcats earned spots for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, scheduled Sunday in Indianapolis.

"From Tyrese (Maxey) earning his first selection to AD (Anthony Davis) making the All-Star Game for the ninth time, each of these guys have put in the work to become some of the best in the league. Well deserved!!" Calipari posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The previous record for All-Star participants from one university was four, held by UCLA in 1983 and Kentucky in 2018 and 2022.

The seven former Wildcats' combined record at Kentucky was 226-39.
