You won't believe how these NBA stars have changed

Born on March 14, 1988, Dell Curry's oldest son has changed a lot throughout the years.

14 years have passed and the 'baby-faced assassin', as he used to be called, has grown a beard, is more muscular and has four championship rings, but he still plays with the same passion and energy as when he was 20!

Born on November 12, 1988, here's LA Lakers guard Russell Westbrook back when he was in high school. He was already aiming high back then!

Older but still confident, Westbrook has grown to become one of the most fierce and intense players on the court.

Born on September 29, 1988, it's hard to recognize Kevin Durant in this picture that is older than Michael Knight!

The hair (or the lack of it) and the beard really show that 16 years have passed between the two pictures of the Brooklyn Nets small forward.

Born on February 28, 1999, Doncic broke into the basketball scene when he was just 16 years old. Don't let his baby face deceive you, this man is a killer with the ball!

7 years later, the Slovene player has gained muscle, facial hair, and basketball glory to become an NBA star.

Born on March 11, 1993, it's hard to imagine that AD ever looked so young and clean-cut!

'Street Clothes', as he's usually nicknamed, now sports tats, muscles a beard, and dreadlocks.

Born on August 10, 1999, Ja Morant could easily pass as the little brother of Lil Nas X back in 2017.

Only five years have passed between the two pictures, but there's a stark contrast between Ja Morant then and now.

Born on August 26, 1989, James Harden stands here with Russ May in what could have been a poster for a '90s sitcom.

15 years have passed and you can tell why Harden is simply nicknamed 'The Beard'!

Born on February 8, 1990, this picture of 20-year-old Klay Thompson makes him look like the jock version of Jason Biggs in 'American Pie'.

12 years have passed and time has given Thompson a rugged, hardened look that does play to his favor.

Born on March 23, 1992, 18-year-old Kyrie Irving already looked like a veteran player!

Taking away the beard and the tattoos and it doesn't look like 12 years have passed between the two pictures!

Born on February 19, 1995, the years have been kind to Nikola Jokic, seen here in his high school yearbook picture.

Seriously, does Nikola Jokic have a painting in an attic that grows old while he remains eternally young?

Born on March 3, 1998, Jayson Tatum looks full of confidence here. He's good, he's handsome, and, worst of all, he knows it!

Six years later, Tatum has become more rugged and muscular. If he was already cheered while playing at Duke, he has become an idol for Celtics fans everywhere.

Born on October 30, 1996, Devin Booker looks like a Disney Channel host in this picture!

Almost a decade later, he looks virtually the same! Good health or deal with the devil? You be the judge!

Born on December 30, 1984, LeBron James stormed into the NBA with the face of a teenager and the game of a future legend. That was a while ago, though.

The star of 'Space Jam 2' now commands respect with his current look.

Born on July 6, 2000, it's hard to believe that Zion was only 17 years old in this photo!

Williamson hasn't had it easy after suffering injuries to his knees and feet, but time will tell what's next in store for him.

Born on July 24, 1995, many people could claim that the only thing that has changed about Kyle Kuzma throughout the years is his clothes. That's not true, he also changed teams!

Slightly shorter hair, a little more court sass, and a spot with the Wizards, but he's the same Kuzma as always.

Born on December 6, 1994, Giannis maintains that friendly, cheeky face that earned him so many fans.

9 years later, 'The Freak Greek', as he's nicknamed, has become one of the top NBA players and earned a reputation of being something of a joker.

Born on August 7, 1989, DeRozan was already brimming with confidence and charisma at the tender age of 17.

The Chicago Bulls player now sports dreadlocks, tattoos, and a goatee.

Born on March 10, 1995, Lavine was once a tall, gangly and clueless 18-year-old.

Now it's hard to recognize the NBA player that LaVine has grown into!

When Jimmy Butler was 22, he already looked ready for action and wise beyond his age and this picture is no exception!

A bit older and tougher, the Miami Heat player still looks like he's ready to face anything you throw at him!

Born on September 7, 1996, Mitchell already had at 19 the physique of an NBA player and the talent to make it to the top.

His hair and beard are longer, but he's still the same Donovan Mitchell that he was in 2015. And that's bad news for the other team.

Born on May 6, 1985, the 20-year-old Chris Paul is pretty much the same as today's Chris Paul, but younger.

CP3 is one of the NBA players that takes care of his body the most, and you can tell!

Born on February 23, 1995, it's hard to recognize Wiggins in this 2012 photo. He was 17 years old, clean-shaven and full of dreams.

A decade later, Wiggins has been Rookie of the Year, won a championship, and was part of an All-Star game. We would smile too if we were him!

Born on February 25, 1994, this young Wichita State point guard is almost unrecognizable!

A thick beard and tattoos have served to give Van Vleet a tough appearance. Also? Becoming a top NBA point guard.

Born on November 15, 1995, KAT is one of the NBA players whose appearance has changed the most throughout the years.

Volume, muscle, hair, and beard. Are we sure it's the same guy from the previous image?

Born on September 19, 1998, Trae Young looked much younger when he was 17.

Now it's the opposite, with his scruffy hairstyle, facial hair, and playing style, it's easy to imagine Young being much older than he actually is!

Born on August 22, 2001, LaMelo and his family made a lot of noise before coming to the NBA and since then, they have exceeded expectations.

What nobody expected was how little the years would affect LaMelo. Same hair, same style, but a bit more of a beard.

Born on July 15, 1990, the years have been more than kind to Damien Lillard!

10 years later, Lillard now sports a goatee but other than that, time doesn't seem to have any effect on him.

Born on October 4, 1988, Derrick Rose was 18 in this picture. Four years later, he became the youngest MVP in NBA history.

16 years have passed, and Derrick Rose still hits the court and maintains his dashing good looks, though not with the same energy he once had.

Born on March 4, 1990, when Draymond was 19 he already looked much older than he actually was.

13 years have passed between the two pictures and now Draymond Green sports some gray hair and a bit more of weight, but nobody can deny he has made NBA history.

Born on March 23, 1990, this skinny, lanky kid was aiming high for the NBA.

12 years later, that kid is no longer that elastic, but he has demonstrated to be a skillful player. He also still keeps the same haircut, that's for sure.

Born on March 16, 1994, it's hard to believe that Joel Embiid looked like this when he was 20.

In eight years, the Sixer star has grown muscle, hair, a beard, and, more importantly, as a player.

Born on June 19, 1999, a lot has changed for the NBA player that some experts claim is Stephen Curry's rightful heir.

Jordan Poole not only improved as a player throughout the years, he no longer looks like a high school benchwarmer.

Born June 29, 1991, we have photographic evidence that Kawhi smiled, at least once, back when he was 18.

13 years later, not that much has changed for the LA Clippers player, appearance-wise.

Born on June 26, 1992, this French NBA player seems to have kept a constant short hair throughout his career.

More than a decade later, he has grown a beard and dyed his hair, but the change have been less dramatic than expected.
