The Real Reason Pgh Doesn't Have An NBA Team

Pittsburgh doesn’t just not have an NBA team. A lot of locals straight-up loathe professional basketball. But why all the venom? City Cast’s Morgan Moody is with Steel City transplant Tyler Batiste to talk about the ‘Burgh’s on-court legacy and whether — someday — we just might get a team of our own.  Keep up with Tyler’s basketball coverage for The Athletic here, and pay homage to our ABA squad, the Steel City Yellow Jackets, for bringing home their first franchise championship last week! PLUS: Hit up our newsletter for a historical photo from the championship-winning Pittsburgh Pipers.  And check out The New York Times' coverage of a 'Burgh-based company cutting ties with Russia.
