LeBron James scores 42 points in summer league (from Twitter)

LeBron James came to Seattle for the first time in 15 years, and the effect of the "king's" visit caused a frenzy in the city.

Last night (Saturday) the star of the Los Angeles Lakers participated for the second time this summer in the event of the Pro-Am league (professionals versus amateurs) founded by former player Jamal Crawford, and no one wanted to miss it: so much so that hundreds of fans slept In the tents outside the hall that hosted the exhibition game, where James was on the floor for only one quarter (!).



As you may remember, Seattle had representation in the NBA in the form of the "SuperSonics" team, but the move of the franchise from the capital of Washington State to Oklahoma City in 2008 robbed the city's basketball fans of the opportunity to see superstars like LeBron up close at home.

24 hours, from the moment Crawford announced on Twitter about James' participation in the game, the crowds waited in the street to ensure their entrance to the event, with the frenzy of course documented on the social network.

"It just shows our passion for basketball. We would love to have a team again. We deserve it," one fan told The Seattle Times.
