"A basketball-themed pop-up called the Hangtime Experience that was planned to run through All-Star Weekend at 1251 W. Taylor Street — featuring DJs, basketball-themed food and drinks, and themed decor — was pulled at the last minute; the event website reads “Event cancelled we are processing refunds” despite no cancellation notice on the event’s Facebook page. Observers noted the pop-up’s logo resembled the NBA’s, prompting speculation that the league’s lawyers may have intervened, though poor ticket sales or other factors remain possible. Organizers have not responded to requests for information." - Ashok Selvam
