Let’s take it back to ’05. Songs like “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Run It!” were being played on iPod shuffles and as for the fashion, everyone’s sense of style was on another level.

Think baggy jeans, oversized shirts and…hats. Not fitted, more like, fedoras. Amidst all of this, a young LeBron James was rocking snapbacks, bling and extra large clothes off the court. On the hardwood, he was putting the Cavaliers on his shoulders, averaging 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game.

During the ’04-05 season, James earned his first NBA All-Star Game appearance. It has been almost 20 years, and LeBron has appeared in every single All-Star game since then. That’s a lot of buckets and a whole lot of fits to look back on. 

Here, we salute the King and his fashion statements along the way.


’05-06: Keeping it Classy

Even back then, ‘Bron was standing on business. In Denver, he rocked a pinstriped suit and the following year, he was stuntin’ in H-town with a beige ensemble that he paired with loafers.


’07-08: Iced Out

In ’07, ‘Bron matched the synergy of Sin City Vegas with yet another tux, this time pairing it with an orange scarf and shades. The following year, James opted for a more streetwear courtside fit while in New Orleans: a leather varsity jacket, jeans and bling.


’09-11: Streetwear Style

Back in 2010, James had people lining up to cop the LeBron 8s, and at ASW, he switched the loafers for kicks and black jeans.


’12-13: Lift Off

Just peep the “Galaxy” LeBron 9s, which first debuted at the Orlando All-Star Weekend in 2012. The colorway paid homage to the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, FL.


’14-15: Synchronized Sock Game

Sock game crazy. ‘Nuff said.


’16-17: Crimson Comfort

In ’16, James set the vibe in Toronto with a knitted sweater, a button down and a fedora, while the following year, he brought out a crimson baseball cap.


’18-19: the Reign

In 2018, LBJ rocked the LeBron “Closing Ceremony” 15s, celebrating his reign as King while winning the ASG MVP that year.


’20-21: Diamonds Dancing

‘Bron was straight up flexin’ some serious bling between ’20-21, including bringing the ‘chip back to LA.


’22-23: Timeless Style

Historians will tell you that when ‘Bron rocks an all-black fit in the tunnel, he means business. NBA All-Star Weekend is no exception.

You know of sports journalist Taylor Rooks, but how well do you know the real her?

For the latest episode of hoop(ish), Taylor joined Ian and Sway to talk about her media journey and revealed who she is off the court: from her days growing up in Chicago and the moment she realized she wasn’t going to be the next Serena on the court, but was destined to interview legends of the game. She also shared insight into her personal life, including her hobbies, Black hair care routine and so much more.

Plus, of course we had to talk basketball fashion and Taylor gave her LeagueFits starting five and shared her thoughts on Tyrese Haliburton’s style evolution. Check out the latest episode.

We also got to get to know the REAL Taylor by taking a look at her Explore Page—which anyone could say is the best way to judge who someone really is.
