Battle of the Billboards II

23

Back last June, right after Mikhail Prokhorov took over, the Nets put up their ' "Blueprint for Greatness" billboard. It dominated 34th and 8th and drove Jim Dolan nuts. The Knicks then put up a billboard that overlooked the Barclays Center construction site. Now, Nike has put up a huge billboard of Carmelo Anthony at the other end of the block to celebrate his "return" to New York. Not to be outdone, the Nets had Deron Williams do a photo shoot in Manhattan Wednesday, Page Six reports. By month's end, his face will grace a larger billboard...in Times Square.
