There will be a few big names in the NBA hitting the open market in a few days and fans around the league are putting in last minute efforts in an attempt to try to lure at least one of them to their city.
From Cleveland to Los Angeles to Toronto, billboards have gone up in many different cities across North America and now one Los Angeles attorney is going all in for the final few days of June. The Los Angeles personal injury attorney’s name is Jacob Emrani and he also happens to be a Lakers season ticket holder. As a final attempt to try to lure both Paul George and LeBron James to LA, Emrani put up 40 different billboards in LeBron and George’s honour.
Emrani purchased the original LeBron to LA billboards that went up not too long ago and now he’s back with some solo Paul George billboards and some Paul George x LeBron James duo billboards.
The LA attorney spoke to ESPN about the billboards he’s put up and here’s what he had to say.
“As Lakers fans, we all thought we had Paul George in the bag, and he was 100 percent going to come and in the past few weeks when I heard people saying he might be considering [staying with the Thunder] and having second thoughts, I felt like nobody was really giving attention to Paul George,” Emrani said. “I feel like it is extremely important for Paul George to see this and see how Lakers Nation is so excited about bringing him home.”
It’s only a matter of time until we find out if his billboards actually worked.
