Soon, sources confirmed that Bron would indeed play at the Drew League joining forces with Deebo and his MMV Cheaters to take on the Black Pearl Elite.
As the two superstars took on the court to get some shots up before tip-off, unsurprisingly, there was a huge crowd that immediately surrounded them.

NBA Twitter reacts as a Black Pearl Elite defender tries trash talking with DeMar DeRozan
The action-packed contest saw several dunks, long-distance bombs, and had whatever we expected from this highly-anticipated clash. We even got to see a Black Pearl Elite defender make a questionable decision of talking trash and playing extra tough defense on DeRozan.
Competitiveness on 💯 at the @DrewLeague 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/EH9DWTJMZc

The Bulls star, who finished the game with a solid 30-point, 14-rebound double-double, has been entertaining us at the Drew League all summer long. We know for a fact that Deebo is going to replicate the same success he saw last year in the upcoming campaign as well.
