The 4th quarter starts and this time Dorrell Wright takes Johnson's spot. Crawford gives Wright that "you know you done messed up now" face and swishes another 3.  Then on the next play Crawford gets 3 the old fashion way with an and-1.  The game becomes a broken record as Crawford gets another and-1 and continues to make the crowd oooh and aaaah - even on missed shots.

I don't know how many points Crawford had in the game but I can tell you over 2,500 people left the game satisfied and a big reason why was because of him.

But an equally big shout out needs to go to one of mine and Jamal's favorite players of all-time: Baron Davis. Davis helped make this epic event a possibility and has been representing the Drew for the past decade and LA basketball since birth.

Forget Drake vs Meek. Forget Mayeather vs Pac. The battle I want to see is between the two most exciting and popular pro-am leagues this summer: The Drew League and the Seattle Pro-Am.

On Sunday, the Drew League wrapped up their season as James Harden and the LAUNFD team defeated the dynamic duo of Nick Young and DeMar DeRozan for the Drew League championship trophy.  Meanwhile in Seattle, Jamal Crawford, Zach LaVine, Nate Robinson, Isaiah Thomas and other pros were putting on a show for basketball sick fans at the Seattle Pro-Am All-Star game.

After the games - as footage of Zach LaVine dunking at the proam went viral and pics of everybody from Kevin Durant to Iggy Azalea to Khloe Kardashian at the Drew made the rounds on Twitter - people started calling for a Battle of the Pro-Ams between the two leagues. Then the players got involved. Isaiah Thomas repping Seattle said "let's get it." Dorrell Wright said he was wit it. Baron Davis - director of the Drew League documentary - responded with a "set it up!!"

Then the Seattle Pro-Am issued an official challenge to the Drew with the dates of August 21, 28 and 29. The Drew League responded by saying the Seattle Pro-Am wasn't "serious" and they have been trying to do this for a couple of years. Then the discussion went silent - at least publicly. I thought game over before the game even started or maybe the Drew crew was just too busy celebrating the premier of 'Straight Outta Compton.' But then late Wednesday night Jamal Crawford tweeted this message.

*BREAKING* U asked for it, and U shall receive it...@SeattleProAm vs @DrewLeague #whorunsthewest is going down!!!! AUG 28th #SPU!! Let's go!

Then I would like to say thanks to Jamal for everything he has done for Ballislife over the past couple of months and for allowing us to be a part of his Seattle Pro-Am (if you thought our mixes were crazy just wait until you see our documentary on the Pro-Am and hour long interview with Crawford).

Then I would like to say thanks to Tori for sharing him with all of his fans and letting him play in this game for the great city of Seattle on this special weekend! Most guys would be lucky to just be able to play a game of basketball a day before getting married, but Jamal's wife let him and his friends - Chris Paul, Nate Robinson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Matt Barnes, Tony Wroten, Isaiah Thomas, Dejounte Murray, Wale, Will Conroy - have a "pick-up game"...at midnight...in front of a few thousand people!

That's love.  From wife to husband, husband to fans.  It was all love and basketball in Seattle last night.

Just in case you were wondering who won: Chris Paul's team beat Crawford's 136-129
