For more than forty years now, The Drew League has played host to Los Angeles' best collection of amateurs and professional basketball players with an annual summer league that's featured the likes of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Baron Davis and an extensive list of NBA players.

After initially starting out with just six teams, the league now features 28 invite-only squads each summer. While NBA players can't play until July, which is when free agency begins, the league's opening weekend this past Saturday featured the likes of The Game, former player Baron Davis and Arizona-bound Stanley Johnson. 

Check out all of the best sneakers worn this weekend at The Drew, and look forward to weekly coverage all summer long.

You can catch the action yourself for free every weekend on Saturdays and Sunday at King Drew High School on 120th Street and Compton Avenue in South Central LA.
