On February 28, One Piece took over Crypto.com Arena for a special game night event with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers ended up taking down the clippers in a close 106-102 game, and maybe some of that juice is thanks to the presence of the Straw Hats and a special piece of animation created for the event.
The anime short—which depicts a Lakers uniform-clad Luffy in an intense basketball match against a team of Marines—can be seen in all its 30 seconds of glory below.

Next up, One Piece will grab a bat and head to Fenway Park for another Boston Red Sox collab on May 3.
Crunchyroll streams the legendary One Piece series with new English-subtitled episodes of One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga released every week.
