CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The way the fans stormed the court, you’d have thought it was a nail-biting finish between ACC basketball rivals Duke and North Carolina.
Instead, it was a blowout game between sixth-graders. And in attendance was basketball’s biggest star.
When the game began Friday afternoon, roars from the crowd echoed throughout the Charlotte Convention Center as NBA superstar LeBron James entered surrounded by his security detail.
James wore shorts, a bright orange T-shirt and a black shooting sleeve wrapped his right arm. But the 13-time NBA All-Star wasn’t there to lace up and play.
