Oral History of NBA Summer League - a podcast by Kyle
from 2022-07-12T07:23
On today's episode, we have another addition of our Oral History of Sports Podcast. Today, we break down the long and illustrious history of the NBA Summer League. From it's origins in 2002, to the NBA's embracing of Las Vegas in 2007, it's addition to NBA2K, and "The Summer of Blake Griffin". We discuss how it used to be just 3,000 people in an NBA-style college stadium, then became a profitable endeavor. We discuss every game being put on TV in 2013, and the Championship-Style tournament that allows the Sacramento Kings to win something every 4 years. Finally, we discuss the magical Lakers and Blazers domination of Summer league when I was a kid, to Brandon Clarke's run in 2019, to Carsen Edwards and Payton Pritchard bringing out the arrogant Boston sports fans. We also have a full segment on how Dodger Stadium concession workers may strike MLB All-Star Game - Los Angeles Times, and the state of unions, median wage, and the diminishing middle class in the United States since 1990.
