Effect LeBron James. No sooner had the King and Jamal Crawford, in recent hours, announced the Lakers superstar’s participation in the summer tournament in The CrawsOver, in Seattle, Hundreds of fans camped overnight on city streets waiting to grab one of the bleacher seats in the gymnasium.
These kinds of tournaments are held in very small arenas, more like gyms than sports arenas. The seats are therefore small and, given the free and open admission, you have to be among the first to show up at the entrance to make sure you can watch the game. In particular, the Royal Brougham Pavilion at Seattle Pacific University, where the tournament is being played, has a capacity of 2,500 people.
These hours, the images that are circulating on social media speak for themselves: everyone does not want to miss the chance to see LeBron live.
People camping out a whole 24 HOURS before the Crawsover tmrw 😂
