NBA Summer League continues to give back to the Las Vegas community since its inception in 2004. Summer League Jr. NBA is an example of the community contributions over the years such as Hoops for St. Jude, Military Appreciation Night, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade, Adopt A School, Noche Latina, and the holiday food drive. The goal of Summer League Jr. NBA is to assist the youth throughout Southern Nevada and to provide them with healthy programming focused on leadership, sportsmanship, and accountability while instilling positive core values. “The Las Vegas community has supported us from the start and we truly feel that Summer League is part of the city. Founding this league with games on Friday nights will create a positive environment for students, parents, and coaches across Southern Nevada,” said Albert Hall, Co-Founder and Vice President of NBA Summer League.
