Why do NBA players participate in these leagues? marketing? it's not for the competition
the consequences of an injury is too high for me to be able to play in these type of games, let alone go hard like some of these dudes

:ehh: You have a point, I think they do it just to get some run in

Just for fun. They really love the game, and the fans and the attention. Contracts are guaranteed, so even if they do get hurt they wont lose money. And they usually only play in one or two games as a guest of the team organizer to come floss. They dont play the whole summer session. Jabari Parker and Chris Copeland played this year in Chicago.

because they're ball players. It's what they love to do. Being able to shyt on lesser competition doesn't hurt though.
