The NBA Summer League is an NBA-operated league in which new rookies get acclimated to NBA competition and undrafted free agents, along with a handful of veterans, have the opportunity to earn an invitation to training camp in October. The 2008 NBA Summer League is held July 11 - 20, at Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion, University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Teams consist of players who have been in the league for 3 years or less as well as newly drafted talent. The purpose of the summer league is to evaluate talent...the perfect backdrop for those individuals wanting to get their foot in the door of professional basketball. The Sports Career conference is being held Friday, July 18th, 2008 from 9am-5pm. This is your opportunity to gain valuable insight into a variety of careers from those working at the highest level in basketball! This day long career conference will offer unique panel discussions and question-answer periods designed to solidify the knowledge of every participant. The day will be split up into diverse speaker panels; including sports business, athlete representation, scouting, digital video editing, and sports career strategies. Your investment in the conference does not include tickets to the NBA Summer League games. Tickets go on sale June 2, 2008 at unlvtickets.com for the basketball games. This conference is ideal to anyone interested in working in the MLB, NFL, MLS, NHL, but particularly the NBA.

UNLV will become the center of the basketball universe July 11th thru July 20th, as NBA executives, scouts, and coaches will gather in Las Vegas. Additionally, the NBA Summer League is expected to attract over 3,000 visitors and more than 500 print, television, and radio media members to Vegas.
