LeBron James has played with many former All-Stars past their peak - Here are all 14, ranked

All-Star seasons: 1 — 1995-96

Years with LeBron: 3 — 2010-2013

Career stats: 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 46.9% FG

Other awards: All-NBA (1995-96)

One thing to know: Howard's best years came well before James entered the NBA, but he was nonetheless a solid presence at power forward and small-ball center for much of his career. He and James didn't end up playing together until 2010 when James joined the Heat and Howard was in his final playing days. Howard later worked with the Heat as an assistant coach.

All-Star seasons: 2 — 1999-00, 2000-01

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2010-11

Career stats: 16.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 40.9% FG, 30.9% 3FG

Other awards: none

One thing to know: Stackhouse was once an athletic scorer and tough defender. He averaged almost 30 points per game in 2000-01, just three seasons before James entered the league. The two didn't team up until 10 years later, and only briefly, as the Heat waived Stackhouse after a month.

All-Star seasons: 2 —2006-07, 07-08

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2003-04

Career stats: 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 52.1% FG

Other awards: All-NBA (2007-08)

One thing to know: Carlos Boozer is different from the rest of the players on this list — he played with LeBron James early in his career, but signed with the Utah Jazz as James was heading into his second season. Boozer went onto become a high-scoring forward and effective rebounder whose game was gradually phased out of the league in his later years. Had he stayed in Cleveland, he and James may have gone on to form a powerful scoring duo at the forward spots.

All-Star seasons: 4 — 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13

Years with LeBron: 2 — 2018-19, 2019-20

Career stats: 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 46% FG

Other awards: All-Defensive Team (2008-2012), All-NBA (2011-12)

One thing to know: Rajon Rondo spent his peak years battling against James for Eastern Conference supremacy. Perhaps they would have been an awkward fit, but James certainly would have accepted Rondo's play-making wizardry and defensive tenacity back then. They remain teammates on the Lakers heading into the 2019-20 season.

All-Star seasons: 2 — 2004-05, 2007-08

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2009-10

Career stats: 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 45.1% FG, 34.6% 3FG

Other awards: Sixth Man of the Year (2003-04)

One thing to know: Jamison was one of the NBA's better scoring forwards from 1999-2010, but was often over-burdened as a No. 1 option. He would have been an excellent swingman next to James, however. The Cavs traded for Jamison in 2010 after missing out on Amar'e Stoudemire, but he wasn't a big enough addition to helping keep James in Cleveland.

All-Star seasons: 2 — 2004-05, 2008-09

Years with LeBron: 2 — 2012-2014

Career stats: 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 45.2% FG, 38.6% 3FG

Other awards: none

One thing to know: Lewis was a player ahead of his time as a stretch-four and an underrated post-up player. He would have been a good inside-out combination with James early in his career, but ultimately ended up next to LeBron in Miami as a veteran chasing a ring.

All-Star seasons: 1 — 2012-13

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2018-19

Career stats: 8.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 59.6% FG

Other awards: Defensive Player of the Year (2011-12), All-NBA (2011-12), All-Defensive Team (2010-2013)

One thing to know: Chandler would be one of the best possible fits next to James — he doesn't need the ball, creates vertical spacing with his runs to the rim, anchors the defense, and does the dirty work. If James had been partnered with prime Chandler (2007-2014), there's a strong argument for Chandler being the best center alongside James. When the Lakers signed Chandler last year, James' excitement about the move told you he understood Chandler's value.

All-Star seasons: 4 —2002-2006

Years with LeBron: 2 — 2007-2009

Career stats: 5.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 47.4% FG

Other awards: Defensive Player of the Year (2001-02, 2003-03, 2004-05, 2005-06), All-Defensive Team (2001-2007), All-NBA (2001-2006)

One thing to know: Wallace wasn't much of a contributor on offense, but he could have anchored LeBron's Cavs teams defensively while adding a dose of toughness. Wallace's best years were behind him when he was traded to the Cavs in 2008.

All-Star seasons: 4 — 2002-03, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2014-15

Career stats: 15.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks, 48.4% FG, 33.1% 3FG

Other awards: All-NBA (2004-05, 2005-06)

One thing to know: Though not in the mold of your typical All-Star, Marion could have thrived next to James as a do-it-all forward, capable of guarding the opponent's best player, scoring in transition, and doing the little things. Unfortunately, he and James played together eight years after Marion's last All-Star Game, when he was a far different and less effective player.

All-Star seasons: 3 — 2009-2012

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2017-18

Career stats: 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 45.3% FG, 30.4% 3FG

Other awards: MVP (2010-11), All-NBA (2010-11)

One thing to know: Ironically, Rose and James had a chance to play together in their primes — in 2010, when James was a free agent, and the Chicago Bulls were a suitor. However, Rose was reportedly luke-warm on recruiting James. They ended up playing together on the Cavaliers in 2017 when Rose was on the verge of falling out of the league. Suffice to say it did not work out, as Rose was traded mid-season.

All-Star seasons: 3 — 2009-2012

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2016-17

Career stats: 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1 steal, 44.5% FG, 35.7% 3FG

Other awards: All-NBA (2007-08, 2009-10)

One thing to know: Deron Williams was once considered the second-best point guard in the league behind Chris Paul. James would have celebrated if he had a big point guard like Williams giving him 18 & 10 per night, lightening the load James had to carry. By the time they played together, Williams was the reserve guard on the Cavs, playing behind Kyrie Irving.

All-Star seasons: 10 — 1999-2002, 2003-2009, 2010-11

Years with LeBron: 2 —2012-13, 2013-14

Career stats: 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 45.2% FG, 40% 3FG

Other awards: All-NBA (2000-01, 2004-05)

One thing to know: Ray Allen was still an effective three-point ace when he played with LeBron, so it's easy to forget James wasn't even getting the best version. Prime Ray Allen was an underrated scorer and athlete. He not only would have spaced the floor for James, but he could have also carried the scoring load on other nights. Their brief partnership worked out, anyway — Allen saved the Heat's season with a clutch corner three in the 2013 Finals, and the Heat eventually won the championship.

All-Star seasons: 15 — 1992-98, 1999-2007, 2008-09

Years with LeBron: 1 — 2009-10

Career stats: 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.5 blocks, 58.2% FG

Other awards: MVP (1999-00), All-NBA (1993-2006, 2008-09)

One thing to know: Prime Shaquille O'Neal would have been far and away the best player James has ever played with. Even after his best years with the Lakers, O'Neal was still a nightly 18-9 player from 2004-2009. Unfortunately, by the time O'Neal landed in Cleveland, he was nearing the end of his career and was mostly ineffective next to James.
