How to create line breaks in x-axis tick labels of a boxplot in MATLAB?

boxplot(rand(10,11))
ax=gca;
ax.Title.String='Points Scored by the Top 11 Scoring NBA Players in 2012';
ax.Subtitle.String='Each point is a game';
ax.XLim=[0,12];
ax.XTick=1:1:11;
ax.XTickLabel = {'Lebron\newlineJames', 'Deron\newlineWilliams', 'James\newlineHarden', ...
    'Carmelo\newlineAnthony', 'Tony\newlineParker', 'Kyrie\newlineIrving', ...
    'Stephen\newlineCurry', 'Russell\newlineWestbrook','Lamarcus\newlineAldridge','Kevin\newlineDurant','Kobe\newlineBryant'};

Change the TickLabelInterpreter to 'tex'.

You can adjust the x-axis fontsize to avoid the overlapping among labels.

boxplot(rand(10,11))
ax=gca;
ax.Title.String='Points Scored by the Top 11 Scoring NBA Players in 2012';
ax.Subtitle.String='Each point is a game';
ax.XLim=[0,12];
ax.XTick=1:1:11;

ax.XTickLabel = {'Lebron\newlineJames', 'Deron\newlineWilliams', 'James\newlineHarden', ...
    'Carmelo\newlineAnthony', 'Tony\newlineParker', 'Kyrie\newlineIrving', ...
    'Stephen\newlineCurry', 'Russell\newlineWestbrook','Lamarcus\newlineAldridge','Kevin\newlineDurant','Kobe\newlineBryant'};

%Change the Tick label interpreter
ax.TickLabelInterpreter = 'tex';

%Adjust the x-axis font size
ax.XAxis.FontSize = 7;
