In the summer of 2011, LeBron James participated in the Drew League with the NBA lockout shutting down the season.

LeBron finished with 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists in the game against the reigning Drew League champions, LAUNFD.

The league is a famous pro-am summer basketball event that takes part in Los Angeles, California. It was established in 1973.

There, fans usually see the jaw-dropping mix of NBA athletes, retired legends, celebrities, local leagues' hoopers, overseas players, and college prospects.

Trevor Ariza, Paul Pierce, Chris Paul, Glen Davis, Brandon Jennings, Andre Miller, Nate Robinson, Nick Young, P.J. Tucker, Terrence Ross, John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Metta World Peace, and many others have all hit the floor of the Drew League at some point.

The late Kobe Bryant graced the court, too, and his debut was legendary. A five-time NBA champion hit a game-winning dagger over James Harden.
