This is my first time at summer league and I have to say, I kind of love it. It's like the NBA, only without the celebrities. Having celebrities around is great and all, but it winds everybody up. There are SCHEDULES TO BE KEPT. There is SECURITY. There are all kinds of places where you are not allowed to walk, or stand, or talk. But here? Now? It's laid back. This event is ego-light, for ...
