The start of the 2015-2016 NBA season is, sadly, still months away, but the summer league phenomenon that is the Drew League is here to ease our pain.
In the Drew League championship out in LA today, Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan snuck behind Houston Rockets star James Harden on a fast break, then threw down an alley-oop on him when Harden made the mistake of trying to jump up to intercept the pass. The crowd went absolutely bonkers, and shut down action for a moment because the gym was in total pandemonium.
Harden would get the last laugh, though, hitting what became the game winning 3-pointer for his team, LAUNFD, with 7.2 seconds left that broke a 93-93 tie. He'd finish the game with 37 points, while DeRozan finished with 28.
Safe to say, we can't wait until October.
