    This is fantastic news, I never understood why they stopped broadcasting Summer League games over the past few years anyway. I'm very happy, especially considering the fact that we'll be in Italy for preseason with limited coverage. Not to mention, the Vegas Summer League website takes like 4-5 hours after each game to update the damn box score.

    this is great news. As much as people say the Summer League doesn't matter jack sh*t, it's still cool to watch all the young players accross the NBA play each other with no superstars and no big names. I also love the random ass veterans that get thrown onto these summer league rosters. I remember Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje was on the Magic in last year's summer league. Quite possibly the best NBA name ever.
