Larry Drew II

We’re honored to be featured in @wwd and grateful for the opportunity to share the story behind Fashion Forward Week LV. Sincere thanks to Renan Botelho for the thoughtful feature, and sharing our vision for the future of NBA culture x haute couture. Link in bio to the article. #FFWLV #WWD

It started with Kobe and the Los Angeles Lakers… @larry.light first memories of the game🏀 watching his dad play a role in drafting Kobe Bryant to the Lakers 👀 Larry Drew Jr. shares that moment. 🎙️ Born To The Game | YouTube OUT NOW! 💛 Link in bio.

There’s a lot to be said, but I’ll try to keep it short. The thing about basketball is you never really know where it can take you. Sure, the game has taken me around the world and back, but what I’ve always respected most is how it opens doors you never saw coming. You never know what rooms your commitment to mastering the craft might lead you into… or who might be sitting at those tables. That’s why I’ve always embraced being a playmaker, not just on the court, but in life. Connecting dots. Creating opportunities. Bringing people together. Last Wednesday in NYC, we hosted our soft launch dinner at Soho House Meatpacking District for Fashion Forward Week Las Vegas , bridging luxury fashion houses and NBA talent during Summer League. I’m grateful my guys Darius Miller and Chuck Bryant Jr. called and asked me to partner with them, alongside Jordana, Chris, and Eji on this venture. This isn’t just an event. It’s alignment. Culture. Access. We’re looking forward to showing y’all what we cook up this July. Stay tuned… . . . . . #fashion #fashionevent #nbafashion #nba #fashionforward

🗞️🗞️🗞️ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🗞️🗞️🗞️ Basketball Players X The Fashion Industry… … basketball players have always strutted the runway from the bus to the locker room… … From the summer leagues in Las Vegas to the NBA drafts in New York City, “Fashion and Style” is at the epicenter of it all. @fashionforwardweek - @christopherfashforward & I are proud to announce we have partnered with Chuck Bryant Jr. - Founder of Fashion Forward Week Las Vegas and former @nba players - Darius Miller & @larry.light and are launching: Fashion Forward Week Las Vegas: The Fashion Finals 🎥 by @viniciusmonteiro and his team at @clubmugo (Creative Director) #basketball #nba #fashion (a special thank you to @franco_rauseo for the collaboration and support as well as all my industry colleagues who have already started conversations to see how they can get involved)!

Earlier this year, I had the honor of meeting David at DunkMS, a charity event my friend Blake Arnet founded to raise funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis, in partnership with UCLA Health. During a Q&A with doctors from UCLA’s MS Achievement Center, David — who’s confined to a wheelchair — asked, “What hope do people like myself and others have? Are there any new therapies or diets that can help?”, but the panel couldn’t offer an answer. After the session, I introduced myself and invited David to try a Solodome session. Ten minutes later, he opened his eyes, smiled, and said, “Can we put wheels on this thing??” That’s when I realized that Solodome, at its core, was delivering what David — and so many others — are searching for: Hope. While we don’t yet have all the answers about the full potential of Solodome’s vibroacoustic technology, we know this — your support can help us with our research. Together, we can explore how this innovation may improve lives and make it accessible to those who need it most. I’m deeply grateful to Johnny Wujek, Jennifer Howell, and The Art of Elysium team for giving Solodome a platform at the 2025 Heaven Gala, where one of our chairs will be auctioned to raise awareness, and hope, for those living with MS around the world. 💙💛🔊 #HopeInAction #DunkMS #MultipleSclerosisAwareness #Solodome #SolodomeAudio #HealingThroughVibration #ArtOfElysium #InspireChange #HeavenGala #UCLAhealth

LIFE ‘24

When I started the @allsmithproject it was a way to go on a listening tour after losing my father to terminal brain cancer. He was supposed to live 4 months. He ended up living 12. I learned that people need 3 things: something to do, someone or something to love, and something to look forward to. We both looked forward to these chats and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I would coach and train until late at night in San Diego and then I would go up to see him. When he was awake, we would chat for hours. About life, basketball, real estate, business, relationships, challenges, emotions, religion, politics, adventures, working out, and what seemed like magic. Before I knew it, I would abuse caffeine and drive back to San Diego to coach and train for the 2018 @crossfitgames He would sleep much of the day and then embark on his treatments while spending time with my mom, loved ones, and siblings. I told him about my vision for a podcast. He loved the idea and supported that I take the leap and go for it 🎙️ - He shared with me a concept titled “always be dating!” It wasn’t about always dating but rather about giving time and energy to connect with friends, family, and open the door with new friends and possibilities. It was about watering and tenderizing the soil to maintain positive relationships. I have always thought that was cool. He shared how valuable memories and friendships were at the end of his life. - This last week, I was able to reconnect with my good friend @larry.light who was my high school point guard. He was a McDonald’s All-American and NBA point guard. We had an incredible chat and ran down memory lane while exploring all the cool things he is up to now. This was special. My dad always loved Larry, my friends, and teammates. This journey allows me to feel close to him and share some special conversations that hopefully positively impact your lives. - That’s all from me for now. It would mean a lot to me if you could subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. I’m thankful for everyone’s support and for the special messages that come my way. We are just beginning, but I feel like we are on the right track. Nothing but love 😊🫶

Embracing the power of focus and effort. Put your energy into what you can control
