Nice video. Some of them are so obviously ready to dominate in NBA regular season right away like Griffin and Durant that it's hilarious.

Really cool to see Griffin and DJ playing together and Steph and KD wearing those old colors

For these guys at least it was very obvious they would be dominant. Of course there were others that LOOKED like they would be....Anthony Randolph...lol.

Really a cool video. People make fun of Summer League play a lot, and rightfully so for the most part, but I love it and I'm glad that it's a tradition that they continue. I remember watching players like Kevin Durant, Deron Williams, Al Horford, Paul Milsap, and many others play in the high school sized Salt Lake Community College gym before they had ever even put on NBA jerseys, and to me it's really cool to see a player develop right from the very non-glamorous start which is the NBA summer league.
