Michael Jordan’s first All-Star Game was one he’d like to forget. Allegedly orchestrated by Isiah Thomas, the “freeze out” was planned in order to limit Michael Jordan’s activity during the game. Still, he managed to shine as bright stars should, and for fourteen straight games, MJ was always the center of attention. Nike even got into the habit of debuting his newest shoe during the game, which is when the world got a first look at the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” from 1993. In 1998, MJ’s final All-Star Game as a Chicago Bull, he took on Kobe Bryant in a heavily-anticipated match-up while wearing the Air Jordan 13.

There’s no arguing that LeBron James was snubbed from the All-Star Game in his rookie year. How does someone average 20, 6 and 6 and be left out? No sweat, because the King responded to being overlooked by becoming an absolute anchor for the game, being select eighteen straight seasons while leading the league in fan votes. The scary part? He’s not done yet, and the King will likely be a regular at the All-Star Game until the decides to hang it up for good. His Nike footwear has been along for the joyous ride with him, with memorable standouts like 2010’s LeBron 7 and 2019’s LeBron 16 Low “Watch The Throne” being among the most remembered. Coinciding with the 2022 exhibition is the return of the LeBron 9 “Big Bang”, which you can buy now directly from eBay.

Kobe Bryant’s legacy is truly lasting, but at the All-Star Game, it will be remembered permanently. In honor of his All-Star presence and the four MVP trophies, the NBA has introduced the Kobe Bryant Trophy for the game’s Most Valuable Player; the trophy represents a collection of Kobe’s accomplishments in the sport while marking a new beginning as the NBA celebrates its 75th Anniversary. For sneaker heads, the trophies were on our feet, with few being as prize-worthy as 2010’s Kobe 5, 2011’s Kobe 6, and 2016’s Kobe 11 – his final appearance in the game.
