There's an announcment at fbtb.net:
"Between Sept. 27-29 help them build a giant basketball for the Grand
Opening of the Basketball Hall of Fame and the launch of the new LEGO NBA
license in Springfield, Massachusetts!"

However, when someone asked in the "ask Lego" forum whether we would see the
sets, Jake McKee said "Nope. Just means that there will be a HUGE basketball
and some awesome model builders!
Oh, and I will probably be there too!"

It seems odd to me that they will have a big thing to announce the launch
of the new product line but then not actually have the new product line to
show off, even if it won't be available immediately, but that is how I
interpret Jake's comment.

However, the postcards that arrived today seem to contradict this.
On the back it clearly says there is a LEGO Basketball Product Unveiling
at 1:00 on Saturday, in addition to the Giant Basketball Building Event.

Also, based on the picture on the front of the postcard, I'd guess that
the Harry Potter Quidditch hoops are the same part as the basketball
rims, just grey instead of orange.  Maybe we'll have to stop by and
check it out on the way to the Big-E.
