This is the same design that Nike wanted to install in Cleveland where the Witness billboard now hangs. Cleveland, of course, had a problem with it — it didn’t feature the Cavs or Cleveland at all and apparently portrayed black men in a violent way.

New York, suitor A for LeBron’s services next year, doesn’t have a problem with it at all, as you can tell from this pic.

  1. what can you say??? las vegas might be “sin city” but new york is certainly a town chock full of high-priced whores too with all the same type of free spending fat cats willing to pay for their services as well.

  2. Maybe the image should have him wearing his Cavs #23 jersey. Than it wouldn’t be so bad. It does look pretty scary.
