As an Ohio native, LeBron James is a well-known Ohio State supporter. He even tweeted about possibly playing college football at one point, which was something brought up to Buckeyes coach Ryan Day when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week.

Another day, another NBA legend praising one of Rutgers’ five-star freshmen. After Suns star Kevin Durant complemented Ace Bailey, it was Lebron James’ turn to speak highly of Dylan Harper.

The New York metropolitan area, where the Lakers will play the Knicks on Saturday, is buzzing about Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper.

The date was February 15, 2004, the last time LeBron James didn't play in the NBA's All-Star game, which was ironically being played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles that year. The world was a very different place back then. Shaquille O'Neal won the All-Star game's MVP award and Kevin Garnett was on the way to being named NBA MVP.

James will make his record 21st consecutive start as an All-Star and Curry, the long-time face of the Golden State Warriors, is now formally serving as host for the weekend with his 11th All-Star appearance. As of now, the Knicks are the only team with two All-Stars, despite being in third place in the East.

All season long, Rutgers guard Dylan Harper has caught the attention of NBA Draft experts and fans alike with his unique skillset. But it seems he’s caught the attention of a certain NBA superstar, too.
