New York Billboard Asks LeBron James to Become 'King of New York' With the Knicks

New York is the latest city to make its recruiting pitch to LeBron James with a massive billboard.

A billboard popped up near Madison Square Garden Thursday night asking LeBron to join the Knicks. The blue and orange banner said "King of New York? Prove it." followed by #KingJamesNYC18. It was purchased by the marketing company NYC Ads, Co.
