Despite the rare opportunity to see some of the National Basketball Association's up-and-coming players up close and personal for a fair price, many of the seats at the Cox Pavilion were empty at the inaugural Vegas Summer League last year.

This year, with Reebok on board as a sponsor, league executive director Warren LeGarie and his staff -- including director of public relations Mitch Germann, Dennis Rogers, Albert Hall, Bob Murray of the City of Las Vegas' Adaptive Recreation Division, and City of Las Vegas Parks and Recreation Coordinator Mike Habighorst -- made sure that wouldn't be the case this time around.
