Professional and amateur players compete in the summer hoops league in Los Angeles. The NBA has had a lot of big-name ballers over the years.

Notable celebrities have been brought out to watch the court. The Drew League has seen more NBA athletes this year. The hardwood action in L.A. has been exciting since long-awaited returns to young stars. Some NBA players played in the Drew League this summer. Trae Young and John Collins are together.

The NBA stars are on July 16.
James and DeRozan were on the MMV Cheaters in the Drew League. James and DeRozan took over after Draymond Green and Quavo attended.
James had a monster game with 42 points, 16 rebound, and 4 steals as the Raptors defeated Black Pearl. Both NBA hoopers brought the competitive edge, as James disputed a call with referees and DeRozan exchanged words with an opposing player.
DeRozan showed his chemistry with James on a sweet dime that led to a dunk.
