Drew League Basketball

Today I made a trip out to the "Hood" to watch some Drew League action in person. The Drew League is America's premiere Pro-Am basketball tournament. It is the West Coast version of Rucker Park. Entrance to the game was free so even if I didnt end up getting autographs there was no downside. I took a basketball just in case. This was my first trip to the Drew League so I didnt know what to expect. And again I was not prepared for the unbelievable opportunity to meet some big names. I had heard that Kobe and Lebron made appearances last year but I figured that was once in a lifetime, plus most of the best NBA players are in London for the Olympics. But by far this event was no disapointment. It was the semi conference finals so there were two games. After the games were over it was time to try to get some pictures and autographs from some of the players. I was able to meet and get autographs from: The Game, Metta World Peace, John Wall, Demar Derozan, Josh Childress, Austin Daye, Taj Gibson, Casper Ware, dorell wright. Also in attendance: Rudy Gay, Ty Lawson, Jordan Hamilton, Cutinio Mobley, Jr Smith, Tyreke Evans. Mikey Thompson. The players were in a rush to get out of the gym, but they all stopped and signed for the fans. Overall this was a a great experience. Me and my friend Tre had a blast meeting all the players. As a CSULB student, I was excited to meet our Point Guard Casper Ware.
