Alvin Wills, who worked at Charles R. Drew Middle School, established the Drew League in 1973. There were initially 6 teams in the league. With more teams (10 in 1985, 14 in 1988) and notable high school, college, and professional players playing in the games, the league gained popularity during the course of the 1980s.

Casper Ware Sr. helped in deciding the Drew League 1987 winner by scoring a massive 47 points in the championship game. However, the record for the most points ever scored in a single game was set by East Ed Reed in 1990 with 64. Surprisingly, Drew League officials made the decision to keep the league running during the 1992 Los Angeles riots in order to help the South Central Los Angeles neighborhood. The youngsters have flocked to King Drew Magnet Highschool every year since 2012 to watch some of their favorite players compete in this pro-am competition.
