After LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, on the night two more NBA stars as Trae Young e John Collins took the field in Drew League. The two did indeed put on a show, such as with an alley-oop against the scoreboard, but they also lost the game against the team of Kevin Punter, former Milan and Virtus Bologna.

As if that were not enough, Collins got the worst of it. In addition to the defeat, he also suffered a poster and, more importantly, became the first NBA player to be ejected for fouls in the Drew League. Something not to brag about.
