LeBron James and Michael Jordan are often compared to each other, but it’s no doubt the amount of respect and inspiration the two hold.

Prior to King James getting his own signature sneaker, a young LeBron laced Air Jordans on court of the retro, performance and PE variety as a high schooler and in pre-season play.

Even as he enters his 17th season in the league, LeBron shows love to Mike by rocking his kicks pre-game on the regular.

Surpassing Mike on the all-time scoring leader list this past season, we recount the many times LeBron James has worn Air Jordans.
