LeBron James is set to become a free agent this summer and fans across North America are trying their best to try to lure him to their team by purchasing billboards in different NBA cities. We’ve seen 76ers, Raptors, Lakers, Trail Blazers and Cavaliers fans purchase billboards in hopes of swaying LeBron to choose their city, but now a Minor League Baseball team is trying their luck as well.
On Thursday, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs got in on the LeBron James sweepstakes by putting up their own billboard, only they made it a little more personal with their caption.
We’re always going to hear fans debate on who they think is the best basketball player of all-time and the Philadelphia Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate decided to add to it by reminding LeBron about the time Michael Jordan spent in Minor League Baseball. As a result, the Birmingham Barons, weighed in with a pitch of their own.
However, the IronPigs were quick to respond and stumped the Barons.
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans also added to the conversation with a photo of their own billboard pitch.
But once again, their pitch was no match for the IronPigs’ social team.
