The 2019 NBA All-Star game will feature the biggest names in basketball.
But before LeBron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Stephen Curry, and the like became the perennial All-Stars they are today, they were scrawny, baby-faced rookies still looking to make a mark on the league.
And their name recognition isn't the only thing that has changed. Many of these All-Stars even the younger ones look incredibly different than they did when they were NBA rookies.
Check out photos of what the 2019 NBA All-Stars looked like when they first joined the league:
