On Saturday, reports surfaced that the NBA had sent around 200 cease-and-desist letters to Atlanta party promoters to prevent them from using the NBA’s All-Star logo and event name to boost their parties, despite the fact that the NBA is indeed hosting its All-Star game in Atlanta on Sunday.

New York Times sports reporter Marc Stein noted, “The most notable aspect of the letters, of course, is that they suggest there are at least 200 parties gong on in the area this weekend after Atlanta mayor Keisha Bottoms urged the local citizenry not to hold All-Star events when the NBA is not interacting with the public at all.”
