LeBron James will play in Jamal Crawford’s Pro-Am league on Saturday!

Are you lacking basketball and the NBA offseason is really starting to weigh on you? That’s good because we have great news for you. This Saturday, on the side of Seattle, LeBron James will play the orange ball in the company of Jayson Tatum and other sympathetic names of the NBA, within the framework of the Pro-Am league of Jamal Crawford. Unmissable!

The participation of LeBron James in the Drew League of Los Angeles had already caused enormous hype so much so that it was broadcast by the NBA, which had never happened in the history of a Pro-Am league. And now it is the city of Seattle that will be able to admire the talents of LeBron very closely. If former NBAer and crossover king Jamal Crawford’s Twitter account is to be believed, James will indeed be in the Emerald City this Saturday to compete in the CrawsOver Pro-Am. With him ? We will find Boston star Jayson Tatum, second choice of the 2022 NBA Draft Chet Holmgren, former Celtic and pure local product Isaiah Thomas, rookie Marjon Beauchamp (originally from Washington State), with the icing on the cakes the reunion between Seattle natives Dejounte Murray and Paolo Banchero. The cast is exceptional and it promises a pure basketball evening in a city that truly breathes the orange ball. Proof of the expectation that this XXL event arouses, there are literally people who have taken out tents and camping chairs to squat near the room and thus maximize their chances of attending the meeting. FYI, it is scheduled for the Royal Brougham Pavilion (regarding 2,600 seats) on campus at Seattle Pacific University at 2:30 a.m. (on the night of Saturday to Sunday), and will be broadcast once once more on the NBA application as well as on NBA.com.

It’s a huge blow by Jamal Crawford, the “CrawsOver” league ambassador who is doing his best to bring basketball to life in his hometown despite the absence of an NBA franchise. The loss of the SuperSonics (in favor of the creation of the Oklahoma City Thunder) fifteen years ago has still not been made up, but thanks to the efforts of J-Crossover, Seattle remains on the map of US basketball, especially during the summer thanks to this prestigious Pro-Am league where several NBA stars have already passed (Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant…). For basketball fans in the emerald city, it’s now or never the opportunity to observe the big names they usually see on TV, and we therefore expect a completely crazy atmosphere next night when LeBron et Cie will take to the floor of the Royal Brougham Pavilion.

In this rather long month of August and while two months still separate us from the next NBA season, this kind of event is quite simply a must-see. It’s been January 2007 since LeBron James has played a basketball game in Seattle, and fans can be counted on to give him a Royal welcome to the Brougham Pavilion.
