The Los Angeles Lakers superstar made a much-anticipated appearance at the Drew League in Los Angeles on Saturday, his first in 11 years, and was exactly as advertised, dropping 42 points, 16 rebounds and four steals in a 104-102 win. James' team, the Cheaters (yes, really), led for most of the first half before finding themselves in a hole in the third quarter. James helped lead a comeback, while delivering highlight after highlight. https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1548415915066216448

James last took part in 2011, when he was a member of the Miami Heat. James made his presence known in ways beyond highlights, from arguing his case with the officials to some good ol' Nike brand loyalty. James' team also had Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, who chipped in 30 points. Their opponents, Black Pearl Elite, had no NBA players of note, but still kept it competitive throughout the game, getting a chance at a buzzer-beating winner on the final possession.
