Ever since, NBA players have frequently played in the summer weekend games, competing against Division I collegiate players, overseas pros back home, rising high school stars and local players. “We were in a comfort zone with Nike for the past several years, and everything was fine,” said Dino Smiley, a longtime LA County Parks and Recreation supervisor, who has served as commissioner of the Drew League since 1985 and CEO of the Drew League Foundation since its formation in 2009. “With some of our legends and some of our main players, what made it great was they said to me, ‘Hey, man, it’s about Drew,’ ” Smiley said of the decision to switch brands. “Nike took us to another level, and Adidas should take us even further.”
