The Drew League Pro-Am has been a special place for basketball players throughout the years. DeMar DeRozan has been a constant member of the Pro-Am and this year he brought out LeBron James. This was the first time LeBron James has played in the Drew League Pro-Am since 2011. When LeBron showed up in 2011 he dominated and let it be known he didn’t mind going against any baller that stepped up to him.
Last season everyone wanted to see LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan on the Los Angles Lakers. For this brief moment, everyone was able to see what those two would look like on the same team/same court. Both LeBron and DeMar didn’t disappoint as the crowd was on the edge of their seats from the beginning tip to the ending buzzer. This was a huge legacy builder for LeBron in LA and his return to the Drew League Pro-Am even shut down the NBA App. LeBron James put on a show as he was able to put up 42 points and 16 rebounds in a win. It didn’t matter who was in front of LeBron they were going to get that work. LeBron put all the moves he’s been working on lately with Chris Brinkley into action against the opposing team. It didn’t help that LeBron’s team name was the “Cheaters” and with the addition of DeMar DeRozan that was definitely clear. Every LeBron dunk got the crowd hyped and he lived up to the hype with every point.
Demar DeRozan came to play as usual when it comes to the Drew League. Deebo came out and made it clear that he’s a walking bucket. DeMar DeRozan was hitting his mid-range jumper with ease and was scoring with these. It was a shame seeing what this duo could have been if they were on the Lakers. DeMar was able to finish the game with 30 points and 14 rebounds. Some guy even tried to fight with DeMar during the game as well but all that did was get his game going.
LeBron James used the Drew League platform to debut the Nike LeBron 20. We all have been waiting to see some more clear pictures of the silhouette and they are FIREEEEEE. Check out some of the up-close pictures and more pics from the Drew League Pro-Am yesterday.
