Hey! Have you seen or heard about this awesome new mural of the New Jersey (soon to be Brooklyn) Nets’ quirky Russian owner Mikhail Prokhorov and smaller-shareholder-but-nonetheless-awesome co-owner Jay-Z? It’s right above Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks play! Know what both teams have in common? That’s right, they both want LeBron James to play for them!
Want to see that awesome mural? Here’s a gallery:
And newsflash! Apparently, the guy who owns the Knicks is angry about this, especially because he can’t do anything about it! Are NBA owners really that prone to bouts of intensely strange and insecure oversensitivity instead of welcoming both the press and the challenge? Apparently so! Either way, the hubris and moxie and aesthetic beauty of this billboard makes it the best one in New York, and also, maybe, the most utilitarian piece of public art since those pianos were put all over the place. I mean, come on: This is truly, truly, truly wonderful. Truly.
