Throughout the course of the years, several NBA players have showcased their talents in the Drew League, perhaps the most famous Pro-Am League in basketball.
We’ve seen the likes of Kobe Bryant, DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, and many talented players take the court in front of the fans, some of whom would never have an opportunity to watch them play live otherwise.
Even LeBron James has starred in the Drew League in the past, excelling and putting up the kind of numbers one would expect from a player of his caliber.
Nonetheless, former NBA champion Nick Young believes he could beat James if they were to square off in the Drew League.
In a hilarious and now-viral clip (shared by Landon Buford), ‘Swaggy P’ talked about how he’s all about getting buckets and how, as great as LeBron James is, he still wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
NBA Champion Swappy P on Lakers' @KingJames:
"I guarantee if seen LeBron in front of me at the @DrewLeague you wouldn't know who is the best player in the NBA," says @NickSwagyPYoung.
"LeBron is a G.O.A.T; when come to that Drew back when I was Swaggy, that's how crazy it… pic.twitter.com/we7HPKvY28

Truth be told, the Drew League is perfectly suited for players like Nick Young.
It’s all about scoring and getting buckets, and defense or passing are optional.
Young was one of the streakiest shooters in the game when he was in the league, and while not many people seemed to take him all that seriously, he was a bonafide bucket-getter at times.
Chances are we’ll never get to see this hypothetical matchup in real life.
But it would definitely be a treat to watch LeBron take his talents to the Drew League one more time before he walks away from the game for good.
