Thursdays at ShadowRoom are always a guaranteed madhouse. And that's before Miami Heat shows up to bring the house down.

With Grey Goose sponsoring the evening, it's safe to say everyone partied like kings. Or at least like King James. More»

Thursdays at ShadowRoom rarely disappoint those looking to start the weekend a day early, but this Thursday is shaping up to be something special, especially for NBA fans.

Basketball superstar LeBron James of the Miami Heat will be returning to Shadow Room for the club's Thursday hip-hop night, an event sponsored by Grey Goose that is shaping up to be a night fit for a King.

King James just can't seem to get enough of DC nightlife, and ShadowRoom is the preferred place in the District to hold court for the 7-time All Star.

There are some celebrities that will always be tied to the skill or trait that made them famous. How famous would Eric Clapton be without his hands? What if J. Lo's ass was lost in a freak airplane seat accident?
