Mayors who host NBA Teams sent a letter on December 6 to the National Basketball Association and the NBA Players Union from America's mayors to congratulate them on the tentative agreement between the National Basketball Association and the Players Association to end the lock out.

In early October, the mayors sent a letter to the National Basketball Association and the NBA Players Union from America's mayors out of concern for their cities during this very difficult economic time indicating the toll the lockout has taken on their communities. The mayors encouraged both the NBA and NBPA to please consider working with their local charitable organizations to provide relief to workers and families impacted by the lockout.
