Is "Baller" Trademarked Yet?

The Trade Deadline came and past last week (2/10) and, after almost a week of sorting through what every team gave up in each trade, I have finally completed my analysis and grades of each trade.  I have ranked each trade in order by how much attention it has seemed to create (rather than by how I thought about it).  I graded each trade based on how I felt about it within 1 or 2 days after that particular trade.   James Harden-Ben Simmons deal Nets receive :   Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, 2022 1 st round pick (right to defer pick to 2023), 2027 1 st round pick (protected 1-8) 76ers receive :   James Harden, Paul Millsap Nets Grade:   A- Wow, I certainly wasn’t expecting the Nets to get so much in addition to Simmons; I was only expecting Simmons, Curry, and maybe a 2 nd .   Now, they get possibly the best player that wasn’t traded by them in addition to an elite shooter in Curry, an excellent rebounder and solid backup center ...
