There is still some time before the 2022-23 NBA season starts. In the meantime, NBA players have a chance to focus on various things. Be it rest and have some quality family time or simply improving their skill set before the season begins.
Lastly, there are players such as LeBron James and Jayson Tatum who are making appearances in Pro-Am leagues to continue the entertainment for fans even during the offseason.
The two NBA superstars recently made an appearance together at the CrawsOver Pro-Am league game. Although the match was called off during the second quarter of the game, it still gave fans a few amazing moments to remember.
In a recent interview, Tatum revealed a lot of things about the past few months of his career. He revealed that he was playing with a hurt wrist during the 2022 NBA Finals, and it ultimately hindered his performance during the most important games of his career.
Anyway, on a much less sad note, Tatum also talked about the experience of value alongside LeBron James at CrawsOver Pro-Am league game. Tatum revealed he was actually shocked about how popular James really was as the crowd erupted when the King made an appearance in the court.
Via Bleacher Report:
“I think I’m a big deal. But when LeBron walked out there… the kids lost their mind when he walked out the court. That was a cool moment to be there and see that.”
Since Tatum talked about being a big deal, this moment must have served as a reality check for the young NBA star.
This is not a shot at the Celtics superstar in any way. In fact, it shows how big of a superstar James really is, and his popularity surpasses others in an unimaginable magnitude.
