Event Recap: Lebron James at Marquee & 2k10 Event

Before stopping by the "More Than a Game" soundtrack after party held at Marquee, ATF attended the screening at School of Visual Arts. To our surprise, a press conference was held after the movie and Lebron James himself made a surprise appearance. The groupies were definitely out, screaming  "I love you, Lebron!" as he walked through the crowd to his seat in front of the theater. Continue reading for footage from the screening, pictures of celebs that attended the after party, and more events in NYC last week... More than A Game is a very inspiring and touching movie, there wasn't a dry eye in the audience. We see why the it's called "More Than a Game" because the documentary focuses more on friendship, parent/child relationships, & hardships while growing up---it revolved more around emotions than actual Basketball tournaments. Overall, this is a great movie and we'd recommend everyone to see it! Not surprisingly, most questions asked by fans were directed to Lebron James, rather than the director and other people from the film. Lebron James says:
Our coach, mentor [and] father figure is the biggest star of the movie. I may draw the people in, I may draw the people out of their cars, out of their houses to get into the movie theater, but Coach Dru is the main star of the whole movie. 'Cause he set us up for more than just basketball, he set us up for more than a game. It was about life." Source
Afterwards, we hit up the soundtrack release party hosted by Lebron himself at club Marquee. It was a breeze getting in, unlike many other events held at Marquee. The party was pretty light for the first few hours, but the staff kept the heour d'oerves coming and the open bar was what kept everyone happy. Finally around midnight the celebs started rolling in and were escorted to the back room where the private party was held until about 1 in the morning. It was entirely too crowded, but everyone appeared to be having a great time. Notable celebs were Mary J. Blige, Donnie Klang, J. Cole, Wale, DJ Clue, Teyana Taylor, Kelis, Esther Dean and Akon.

Alicia Keys.  That song had everyone singing their hearts out, including Teyana Taylor! Thursday night, ATF headed on over to Capitale where the 2K Sports Launch Celebration was held. The event was cute and swanky, with open bar all night, and stations throughout the venue set up for guests to be the first to try out the NBA 2k10 video game. Guests included NBA stars like Andre Iguodala, Brook Lopez and Nate Robinson, and entertainers Wale, Cassidy, and Duo Live. Wale played a few games against Robinson, where a big screen was shown for guests to watch. The game was followed by a performance by Wale and Due Live. Good times! We've been seeing Wale around a lot lately---he is definitely an artist in demand! 2k103 sk102
