The city is hosting the 2024 NBA All-Star game next month, and it's a friendly reminder from the NBA team the Pacers that, quote, "in 49 states, it's just basketball, but this is Indiana." Anyways, even though it's a basketball court in an airport, don't take flight on a slam dunk that you know you can't land. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
