LeBron James is one of the most famous people on the planet. The 4-time NBA champion is a pop-culture icon and has represented the NBA in a way that very few in the past have been able to. But at his first NBA All-Star game, LeBron James, a super fan, trying to get autographs from all his All-Star teammates.
While in the locker room for the 2005 All-Star Game, LeBron James passed his sneakers around the locker room, getting legends like Allen Iverson and Vince Carter, even his fellow 2003 Draft class member Dwyane Wade to sign his shoes. LeBron, who was a first-time All-Star, was clearly trying to make the most of his experience.

Later that year, LeBron seemingly predicted his own success by claiming he would reach the NBA Finals very soon.
Considering LeBron is now a 19-time NBA All-Star, seeing him at his first All-Star game being awestruck by some of the biggest players of the previous generation is truly a wholesome moment. LeBron is now in the position where so many of his idols were.
LeBron James – The Living Legend Of The NBA
LeBron James, despite being 38 years old, is still playing at the highest level possible. James is still considered one of the best players in the world, despite his advanced age. And while he is no longer the unanimous best player in the world, he can still put on a superstar performance when asked upon.
James and the Lakers will try to run it back next year, reload and attempt to win the NBA championship. The Lakers got close this year, falling short to a sensational Denver Nuggets team in the Western Conference Finals. But LeBron has shown that he is still a student of the game who learns from his mistakes and comes back stronger than ever.
