The chance to watch LeBron James play basketball in front of your very own eyes is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a lot of people. LeBron is easily the greatest player of his generation and as you would expect of a player of his stature, you normally don’t get to see him play outside of an NBA court.
That hasn’t been the case this offseason though, as LeBron made his return to the Drew League for the first time since 2011 and he isn’t done yet when it comes to playing in Pro-Am Leagues. Jamal Crawford announced that the King will be playing at his CrawsOver Pro-Am League and unsurprisingly, fans are very excited at the prospect of seeing him play live. One, in particular, has got to the front of the line already, having set up camp in front of the entrance!
Some fans are already lining up for LeBron James’ appearance at @thecrawsover in Seattle.
Insane.

That is some dedication right there to be at the venue already, with the game well over 12 hours from commencing, but this fan is making sure he doesn’t miss out. James last played a game in Seattle all the way back in 2007, so it is understandable that basketball fans in the area are hyped to finally see him play there once again.
An opportunity like this is probably never going to come again either, especially with James getting up there in age. He only has a couple of years left in him and it seems like LeBron wants to put on a show for the fans while he still can. He balled out in that outing in the Drew League by scoring 42 points and we can expect another masterclass here from the King. He is also not the only one from the NBA to play there on Saturday either, with the likes of Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, and Dejounte Murray also featuring. It promises to be a memorable day for everyone in attendance.
