James has been selected to the All-NBA First Team 13 times, made the All-Defensive First Team five times, and has played in 16 All-Star Games, in which he was selected All-Star MVP three times. Lebron was drafted immediatley out of high school, being selected by Cleveland with the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft.
