"Obviously, the league's plan of changing the team's name was to garner some media attention. And apparently it worked, as ESPN anchor Dan Patrick relayed the story on his Tuesday national radio show. So now the teams' abbreviation, LBALACUSNAIBA, stands as a testament to both cities, as well as the league's sense of humor. "
