NBA All-Star Jerseys Through the Years

Carmelo and Durant model the uniforms they'll be wearing in Houston in a couple of weeks.

LeBron and Kobe admiring each other's threads last year.

Chris Paul could only watch Derrick Rose (and his bright yellow shoes) go up for the easy two.

Joe Johnson (then of the Hawks) elevates over Steve Nash (still with the Suns back then) in the game played at Cowboys Stadium.

Kobe didn't get much of a look at the front of D-Wade's jersey.

Some old-timey lettering for LeBron and Tim Duncan in New Orleans.

There's no NBA team in Vegas, but they did host the game in 2007. Here's a photo of Shaq and Tim Duncan to prove it.

Steve Nash should probably not be checking LeBron.

Here's Kevin Garnett (in white), playing for the West team during his Minnesota Timberwolves days, along with Jermaine O'Neal.

Allen Iverson and Kobe looked sharp with the diagonal block lettering.

From 1997-2001, the NBA didn't have special All-Star uniforms. Each player on the home team would wear their own white jersey, the away team would wear their road colors. The league went back to All-Star unis in 2002. Here's a young Kobe and an old MJ. Maybe they're talking about their sweet retro jerseys, but more likely Kobe is complaining that he doesn't get enough shots.

For some reason, people really liked the color teal in the 1990s. That's why Reggie Miller and "The Glove" Gary Payton had to dress like this.

Former Georgetown greats Dikembe Mutombo (in white) and Patrick Ewing (in purple) look especially ridiculous wearing those threads from '95.

Hakeen Olajuwon posts up a young (and pretty in-shape) Shaquille O'Neal. And that's Mookie Blaylock playing some D in the foreground.

Larry Bird for three at the 1990 game.

Three Philadelphia 76ers All-Stars smile for the camera. Yup, that's a young Charles Barkley, with "Dr. J" Julius Erving and Maurice Cheeks.

Magic Johnson backs down Isiah Thomas.

Some of you remember Isiah Thomas as a terrible general manager. Others know him as simply an awful coach. But he was actually a pretty darn good player back in the day, and here he is in one of his 12 All-Star game appearances.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars take their team photo. Check out Larry Bird, front row right (#33).

Moses Malone goes up for a lay-up against Kareem.

The Western Conference team photo.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar grabs a board in front of Julius Erving. Dr. J and the East team were wearing green in honor of the hometown Bucks.

Jerry Lucas shows off his MVP trophy. They didn't let him ride the motorcycle during the game.

Bill Sharman poses with his MVP trophy.

The FIRST All-Star game in NBA history.
