This is the saddest part of Journalism and NBA media and Analysts they spent more time talking about Bron stats and misses and his points that game rather than talking about what it meant for him to come and play in the Drew League. Skip spent a whole segment trashing his 3 point shooting and his stats in the game and his missed free throw rather than talk about how he inspiring people and his community. Than the casual hater watches that Skip segment and listen to that garbage we gotta do better as people man it’s sad.

Wow. I love how Damar De Rozan acknowledges Lebron's greatness and how proud he is of him.

[Liltoxic]

Sometimes it is not about the money it's about community

[lashandalee]

Love love love that he lets guest actually talk without interrupting a 100 times like some people. Good job draymond!

[nuetv]

Married his high school sweetheart, never been in trouble, never had any scandals, built a school, had to live up to the highest expectations of all time, holds so many records that’ll probably stand for a long time, still playing like he’s in his prime, and raised his sons to be great basketball players also. LeBron is the Goat 🐐 Arguably the Greatest Athlete of all time, and he’s the first Active NBA player to become a billionaire!

[MrAlvarez]

"He's the Goat 🐐 of our league" High praising from DROZAN and you could see how happy Draymond it's.

This was great for the community, especially those that never had the chance to see him playing live games.

[Bran-Da-Don]

There were a majority of people there who will probably never be able to see those guys play in person at a Lakers/Bulls game at the Crypt so them being there meant the world to them.

Those are the type of things critics who are not from the "culture" will never understand and will instead talk about stats while ignoring how many seeds got planted that day for the next generation.

[Phil]

As a spurs fan it was a pleasure having DeMar, class act and definitely deserves a shot to compete for a title

[adamsadventures]

Demar is so fucking dope. Just a good ass human. Super sincere vibes.

[realmatic]

Would’ve been the greatest 3rd option in the NBA by far !

[sdot]

Love you Dray you start on my all time team no cap Champ 💯✅

[denomac]

the bulls are on their way back to relevancy. the new management have done an amazing job revamping the roster. I look forward to more star free agents signing with the bulls.

When lebron played in the drew league in reminded me of steph curry actually coming down to a street court in the hood in emeryville close to north oakland, same court fab Oakland rapper does his traditional giveaways. It was just so many people there that usually wouldn't be there but with curry there the whole block was packed. It hurt means so much for them to come back and give back. Much respect to lebron, Curry, Derozan and everyone else these are legendary 💯🙌🏾

[elliemyers]

What an unbelievably good dude D-Ro is...Love that he understands how certain things are bigger than basketball...It's great that he's an LA guy and really understands the importance of the Drew League for all the reasons he stated. How there will be kids who get to see him WAY up close and personal that will remember that moment forever. I love that he wanted to play in the Drew every weekend, just so kids out there could see him play. And it's so awesome that 'Bron played and he played a role in getting him there.

[AR-wzof]

Please bring bron to your podcast...it will be lit

[Dontresssmith]

They should have definitely got DeMar DeRozan to the Lakers if they knew what they knew now they would definitely got that man he was ballin him and Bron could you imagine if they was on the same team together Bron AD DeMar DeRozan 💥💥🔥🔥🔥

[Wdyrockstar]

I remember those Derrick Martin camps at Compton college

[kybelian]

Media FOS across the board. When Lebron came into the NBA he had no off season because he played for US basketball. When he finally wanted the takeoff the media criticized him despite playing all year around for the NBA and US for about 5 or 6 years straight

[macmano]

Draymond done grew on me over the years this year I finally understand how much he mean to the warriors he does deserve a max contract but do to how the warriors got there contracts set up someone’s gonna have to leave I honestly think Klay needs leave before Draymond so they can save Jordan Poole And the young guns they got Klay is still great but I feel he gotta be on a weaker team so he can really work his way to get back to where he was, being with the dubs kinda hides all his flaws cuz they so fuckin good whenever u do bad it don’t matter none to the game

[slxmgulileohzwgi]

Im from Saginaw as well I no were he coming from no cap
