Editor's Note:
An NBA fan event scheduled for Wednesday night in Shanghai was canceled due to inappropriate tweets made by Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, besides NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's provocative comment. The billboard of Dongfeng Nissan and the sponsor of the original sports center square were removed from the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center on Wednesday afternoon. All information relating to the sponsors of this event has been removed from the contents of the display board exhibited in front of the sports center. However, the reverse railings in the square are still there, and many security personnel are deployed at the site. Photos: Yang Hui/GT
