Game, let's take em back.....2005 - I'm write for Rivals.com and Dino Smiley's Drew League is the coldest piece of work pro summer game there is, hands down. Me, I been down with The Drew League since they Adidas Fam.
Nowadays, James Harden, and my dudes DeMar DeRozan and Brandon Jennings strap up teams so hard, EBC/Ruckers shouldn't even try to jump with the Drew.
You say, E-Woods why did you stay away for a few years? Minding my 4th grade class and raising my daughter I say. But now I'm back to remind y'all, Drew gon yak on y'all pretender leagues, like Ice Cube says, Yeah Yeah.
At Drew League Week 2, chillin with my 2nd moms, Connie Adams and my Challengers Club dude Deric Daniels, giving props to Tenesha Ware, commish of Women's Drew. Her brother Casper needs be in the NBA, cuz he plays both ends of the court Fosho.
I love Casper fam as much as my boy James Ennis of the NBA Memphis Grizz. #C-Ware & BB4Life ain't no joke
I meet rapper The Game, he dope AF. My homie and Drew League coach and player legend Chris Francis (CPT 100% ) says, "I'm proud of my dude Game, we been ballin for years. I love Frank Session's game, he played with Damian Lillard in college, he has a great game. Frank had high hopes coming out the projects. Both my dudes straight fire, ballin in this league."
Let Game ad lib on it from his Hate it or Love it song:
"Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head envy Drew and me, we hoop raps music M.V.P.
Drew and me ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know us."
Yup, Game spits major, major game. In hoop, Drew League is played at King Drew High, and happens to be the King of all Summer Pro Leagues.
So many deserve to get props in this story.
My dude Thomas Scott is super dope. Chaniel and Dez, that's Dino Smiley's kids, they dope, they run things proper now. I've seen a lot in my 45 years on earth, and the Drew is in great hands.
Who did I come to see at the Drew? Team Redemption brother, best name and coach in the league.
Keion Kindred is my homie, you see. I respect him above all others. He's like my dudes Ced Ceballos, Paul Pierce, and Baron Davis et al. Keion is one micro fracture from being Lebron, because for Compton Dominguez he did straight ball. #put that on your moma
Why did I write this story? Props, reminding everyone that The Drew is the most entertaining pro league in town.
Sorry Lake Show, where else do you get in for free, see breathtaking dunks, dribbling, no look passes with cats like Nick "Swaggy P" Young? The Drew is the Mecca of hoops, it's like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls - it must be seen live in person to fully appreciate it.
You have thousands of fans going oooh, ahhh, loving the game, vibing off true hoop love. You haven't experienced basketball until you have visited the Drew.
13 years ago I fell in love with this league. It's now sponsored by Nike and the court and gym are more sparkly. You see more celebrities, but the same sweat pours from the faces of its players, like Kwame Alexander, so many I can't even list.
Get yo self out there, this.....this just can't be missed. #Drew League is pure hoop love 100%
