“Playing against my idol” Rockets rookie achieves his childhood dream after locking horns against LeBron James at CrawsOver Pro-Am

LeBron James and Tari Eason

Houston Rockets’ first-round draft pick, Tari Eason, a forward player and defense master, locked horns with LeBron James and was seen guarding him during Jamal Crawford’s ‘Crawsover’ pro-am game in Seattle. The 21-year-old is a big fan of LeBron and later took to Twitter to share his eagerness with all when the event was cut-off midway due to condensation. LeBron has a massive fan following around the world, and many rising stars of the NBA like Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham have openly admitted to admiring the NBA legend.

After Tari Eason’s tweet, his mother also got into the picture by sharing a tweet about her son where she mentioned how much this face-off between her son and NBA star LeBron meant to him. She also admitted that he had dreamed of guarding the star player since he was 3-years-old. LeBron was still a rookie in Cleveland Cavaliers when Eason was three years old.

With the kind of defense skills Tari Eason possesses, he could be a threat to any team during their offense. But Tari has a lot of things yet to be learned, and he can become another star player in NBA history if the Houston Rockets team management is successful in tuning him fine. It was visible to all during the pro-am game that the rookie had given a hard time to LeBron on the court that day.

Rumors of NBA team Houston Rockets deciding to bench John Wall as he was making around $40 million has been going around lately, and commenting on this, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas has had a critical point to make where he believes that a team of young players should be developed instead of making John Wall play a string of few extra games with the motive of winning, and this move has born no fruit. Wall has found a new home in Los Angeles Clippers and has signed a multi-year deal of $13.2 million on 28th June after reaching a buyout agreement with the Huston Rockets lately, after having injury issues and being made to sit out for the whole season.
