The Summer League in Las Vegas began being called NBA Summer League from 2007 but until 2013, no champions were declared.
The organized offseason tournament was seen purely as a means for the franchises to focus on offseason player development and player selection for the NBA team's roster before training camp.

Phoenix Suns is the only team to have been on the losing side of a championship game twice - 2013 and 2015.
