The 2004 season was the 28th season of the NBA: Summer Series. ABC and ESPN return as television partners following the rookie campaign of 2003.

The Houston Rockets left their longtime home, the Summit (later renamed Compaq Center) following 27 seasons, and moved to the newly constructed Toyota Center. The 2004 season was the final season of the 29-team league before the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) joined the league as an expansion team the following year. In addition, the 2004 season marked the last time that the Midwest Division was used (for the following year, the "Midwest Division" name was dropped).

The Memphis Grizzlies played their final season of home games at the Pyramid Arena (before the team's move to the FedEx Forum).

Oh, this guy named LeBron James entered the league as a rookie! Yeah, I think LeBron was pretty good, huh?! Plus, some guys named Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony & Chris Bosh also entered the league as well, so let's not forget them.

Plus, the Summer Series returns to its traditional June start following two consecutive January or February starts (2002-2003) due to CSN's final season (2002) & the first season of coverage on ABC/ESPN (2003).
