"Come up here to Seattle LeBron James": Jamal Crawford and Isiah Thomas throw out enticing offers for the Lakers star to bring his talents to Seattle for a high level ProAm tournament

Isiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford desperately want LeBron James in Seattle as the King looks for some offseason plans

LeBron James isn’t exactly someone you’d call a ‘young star’ today. Hell, even the word ‘veteran’ doesn’t sound right.

The King is now 36-year-old, and somehow still going strong. For now at least, he is fighting hard against Father Time. MJ could never.

Okay, before the Jordan stans murder us, let’s get into what’s going on here. Recently, the Lakers superstar tweeted this out.

For those that don’t know, a ProAm refers to a high-level tournament, where many pros and elite amateurs can compete against each other.

Those who haven’t gone pro compete in this for obvious reasons. But for the pros, it is a way to get back in shape and even release some of the monotony of the offseason.

When James tweeted this out, it was obvious he was going to get some invites. But nobody expected the amount of enthusiasm both Jamal Crawford and Isiah Thomas brought to the table.

Without further ado, let’s get into it.

“The city would go crazy killa!!!”: Isiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford try to lure LeBron James to Seattle

As many fans will know, Seattle as an NBA city has some history. So, it is only obvious that they would have some elite basketball ProAms as well. And one of those is Jamal Crawford’s ‘The CrawsOver’.

So, when the NBA legend saw LeBron’s tweet, he instantly tagged the player and posted this.

And around the same time, even Isiah Thomas joined in.

As of now, the King hasn’t responded with anything just yet. However, with the league running until late August, there are more than enough opportunities for him to join in.

Will LeBron James take his talents to Seattle though? Or will the efforts of Crawford and Thomas only be the harbinger of disappointment?
