LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Philadelphia 76ers. James had eight points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal while shooting 2/4 from the field in his first 14 minutes of playing time.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night during their six-game road trip. The Lakers entered the game as the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference standings with a 28-18 record on the season.

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.
