Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James made headlines when it was announced that he would participate in the Drew League for the first time since 2011.
James wasn't the only notable star who played in the league as Chicago Bulls star wing DeMar DeRozan also took the court. The two had basketball fans in the area lining up hours before the doors opened.
One fan who was eager to watch was none other than Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green. On his eponymous show, the Warriors forward spoke about how remarkable it was to see James playing in the Drew League despite being one of the greatest players in the world.
"Bron going to play in the Drew League like that's monumental, like Lebron James does not have to go play in the Drew League. That's insane. He's in year 20 by the way, still going to play in the Drew League.
"I thought that was absolutely incredible, and you know to watch the intensity level... you have to understand the dynamic in things like, that happening okay, so it's LeBron James which everyone wants their opportunity to say, 'I did x to LeBron James. I scored on LeBron. I got a stop. I stripped him, I blocked his shot... and most importantly I beat him...'"
LeBron James looks to get Los Angeles Lakers back on track
The 2022-23 season will be crucial for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. They finished in 11th place in the Western Conference last season and will be eager to bounce back next season.
James will be entering his 20th season in the NBA, but he is still a force to be reckoned with. Last season with the Lakers, James averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 52.4% from the field.
Injuries and inconsistent performances played a huge role in the Lakers' struggles last season. If players like James and Anthony Davis can stay healthy this coming season, the Lakers will fancy reaching the postseason.
