Last night, some of the NBA&#8217;s most recognizable stars, such as Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, gathered at the Melo Center in Baltimore, Maryland to participate in the Goodman League All-Stars v The Melo League game. Although Kevin Durant captivated every basketball fan with every one of his game high 59 points, it was King James who drew the most attention with his breathtaking dunks and new colorway of the beloved Nike LeBron 8 V2. In detail, James debuted a &#8220;Graffiti&#8221; colorway of the LeBron 8 V2, a sneaker that carries on the theme that was first seen on the Nike Zoom LeBron IV (he wore this shoe in the 2007 NBA All Star Game). The shoe specifically features an all-over black\/white graffiti print on the upper and minimal red accents throughout the base (Swoosh border, tongue border, outsole). In addition, Chris Paul used this game to debut his new signature, the Jordan CP 2&#8217;Quick. Lastly, Carmelo Anthony rocked a new colorway of the recently released Jordan Melo M7 Advance. View today&#8217;s Kicks On Court to see what the other aforementioned players were wearing in addition to other NBA notables.  <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LeBron James dunking in the &quot;Graffiti&quot; Nike LeBron 8 V2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LeBron James handling the rock in the &quot;Graffiti&quot; Nike LeBron 8 V2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A closer look at the &quot;Graffiti&quot; Nike LeBron 8 V2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kevin Durant shooting in the &quot;Team Orange&quot; Nike Zoom KD III and Carmelo Anthony contesting the shot in the Jordan Melo M7 Advance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Paul and Kevin Durant in the Jordan CP 2&#39;Quick and the &quot;Team Orange&quot; Nike Zoom KD III, respectively<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ty Lawson and Chris Paul in the Nike LeBron 8 V2 &quot;Summit Lake Hornets&quot; and the Jordan CP 2&#39;Quick, respectively<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Paul handling the rock in the Jordan CP 2&#39;Quick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Paul stretching in the Jordan CP 2&#39;Quick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179672\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Green wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low and Carmelo Anthony in the Jordan Melo M7 Advance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/;_ylt=Al79vBb77kdi8B47ZcAZhQS.vLYF\">Yahoo<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/djstephfloss\">DJ Steph Floss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who says there can&#8217;t be a Kicks On Court during this dreadful lockout?
