LeBron James might be one of the greatest players of all time, but he isn't immune to feeling a bit starstruck amongst his peers.

Being selected to the NBA's Top 75 list is a great achievement in its own right. Being part of incredibly elite company will make any player feel things. LeBron, despite already being at the top of the league, isn't immune to these feelings. After all, the Lakers star looked up to many of these guys.
The Lakers star's emotions showed up in various ways during the entire presentation. However, the most notable one was LeBron's interaction with Michael Jordan. Both players are almost tied to the hip due to fans debating which one is the greatest of all time. However, during All-Star Weekend, we saw the mutual respect both players have for each other.
You can probably say that LeBron was just a tad bit inspired after this incredible show. In front of a faithful Cleveland crowd, the Lakers star hit the game-winner to cap off an incredible All-Star Game. It was the perfect end to an incredible night for LeBron.
