Following the completion of Sunday's two semifinal games, the NBA named Kyle Anderson summer-league MVP, per the official NBA Summer League Twitter account:
And though Slow-Mo was undeniably brilliant on the court—the Spurs' 2014 first-round pick is averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game—San Antonio's leadership and winning mentality emanated from the sideline, in the form of Becky Hammon, the league's first female head coach.
Perhaps even more importantly, Hammon's coaching has been so impressive and so downright Popovichian that the media has finally begun ignoring her gender and focusing on what really matters, per Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News:
The San Antonio show is more than just Anderson and Hammon, though. Former University of Houston shooting guard Jonathon Simmons put on a mid-game dunk contest in the Spurs' 75-68 semifinals victory over the Atlanta Hawks:
Simmons, a 2015 NBA D-League All-Defensive Third Team selection, has showcased an improved offensive repertoire in Vegas—the 25-year-old is averaging 16 points per game on 52.3 percent shooting.
San Antonio enters Monday's title game on a five-game win streak, with the team's only loss in Sin City coming in its first game against the Knicks, which, come to think of it, is kind of a sin itself.
Phoenix Suns
| Player | POS | Height | Weight | From |
| Booker, Devin | G | 6-6 | 206 | Kentucky/USA |
| Brown, Alec | F-C | 7-1 | 235 | Wisconsin-Green Bay/USA |
| Carter, Justin | G | 6-4 | 200 | Creighton/USA |
| Goodwin, Archie | G | 6-5 | 200 | Kentucky/USA |
| Harangody, Luke | F | 6-8 | 245 | Notre Dame/USA |
| Harper, Justin | F | 6-10 | 225 | Richmond/USA |
| Harrellson, Josh | F | 6-10 | 275 | Kentucky/USA |
| James, Mike | G | 6-1 | 185 | Lamar/USA |
| Len, Alex | C | 7-1 | 260 | Maryland/Ukraine |
| McConnell, Mickey | G | 6-0 | 189 | Saint Mary's/USA |
| McNeal, Jerel | G | 6-3 | 200 | Marquette/USA |
| Warren, T.J. | F | 6-8 | 230 | North Carolina State/USA |
The Suns may not be able to boast about having the summer-league MVP, but Phoenix has a potent weapon of its own in the form of a three-headed scoring machine: T.J. Warren (19.0 PPG), Archie Goodwin (16.5 PPG) and Devin Booker (16.2 PPG).
Phoenix's summer-league Cerberus has been blitzing the competition in Vegas, leaving the opposition looking like they just flopped a 22 in blackjack following each game.
Booker, the 13th overall pick in this year's draft, has had a difficult time maintaining rhythm from game to game, but following his 31-point (10-17 FG, 5-9 3PT) performance against the Pelicans in the semifinals, the 18-year-old looks adjusted to the pros:
Warren dropped 31 the night before in a 91-84 win over the Bulls, and Goodwin has gone off for at least 18 points in four of his six games played.
Summer-league ball is a distant, odd cousin of NBA basketball, in that defense is spastic, set plays are rare animals and miscommunication is common. But in this bizarre basketball nether region, the Suns' brand of uptempo ball paired with several legitimate scoring threats has made it a summer-league nightmare.
They may not be UNLV, but the Suns have most certainly adopted the "Runnin'" part of the "Runnin' Rebels" moniker this summer. We'll just have to wait and see if Anderson can put that Slow-Mo epithet to good use one last time in Vegas when the Spurs face the Suns on Monday night.
