History

Historical Context

Since the Las Vegas Summer League began in 2004 and became the NBA-branded event in 2007, it has grown into the league’s primary talent showcase. In July 2009, rookie Stephen Curry, drafted seventh that June, guided the Golden State Warriors to a 2-0 championship run, winning by an average 12-point margin and underscoring the league’s role in shaping modern rosters.
