It's easy to forget how far some of the league's biggest stars have come.
LeBron James has dominated the NBA for 17 years now and is 35, quite different than when he entered the NBA straight out of high school. Stephen Curry, once an undersized, baby-faced guard, is now 32, a seasoned veteran for the Warriors. Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn't always the chiseled Greek God he is now. James Harden once wasn't so...beard-y.
