| - We are blessed to have this league in our city, and for the past ten years I got to see players like Dwight Howard (who was wasn't impressed inaugural summer league season), Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, and even seen a unknown Jeremy Lin outplay John Wall (the first player pick in the 2010 draft) and I was wondering, who the heck is Jeremy Lin? Now, we know who he is.
Well, the NBA has finally figure it out, and now utilizing the Thomas and Mack to it's full capacity. A few years ago, they made the Thomas and Mack an afterthought, and pretty much only use the COX center for most of their games. Good grief!
For entertainment value, this event is one of the best deals in Las Vegas! $25.00 a day will get you into eight NBA games, and never know who sitting next too because some of the biggest names in basketball are in the stands.. Personally, I wanted to give Larry Bird the finger because he killed me a few times in the 1980's, but it was neat to be sitting next to that old fart.
Unlike the All-star game, this league doesn't draw bad apples into our city, and it's family friendly appeal has something for everyone.
Watching this season games, it's pretty easy to see that the Utah Jazz has scored big time with Dante Exum. Hopefully in 2019...Dante will become a LA Laker. Dude, get out of Salt Lake City... You can't put Great Salt Lake Brine Shrimp on the Barbie.
