GTA 6 marketing stunt leaves UK editors baffled by Miami Heat

Original: GTA 6 marketing stunt reveals none of our UK editors have heard of the Miami Heat I don't even know ball but I feel like

A GTA 6 marketing stunt has become a talking point after PC Gamer reported that none of its UK-based editors recognised the Miami Heat, the NBA team tied to the game's Miami-inspired setting. Commenters are amused and incredulous that a major basketball franchise drew blank looks from games journalists, with many joking about the cultural gap between UK and US sports knowledge.

Why now: People find it funny and surprising that games journalists covering a Miami-set game had never heard of one of the NBA's best-known teams.
