    Replacing that billboard is like removing the Ken Griffey Jr. home run tally in Seattle

    I can't stand LeBron, but that billboard already up is sick.

    The new one sucks. I hate that lizard-type shit.

    Hmmm... i need some help here... i thought Adidas owned the rights to the NBA (logos, team names, etc.)? That's whyi thought that nike can't use anything portraying the NBA in their designs/billboards (or most of them for that matter).

    e.g. Most of Kobe's tshirts show actual game pictures, but they were just photoshopped so the Laker jerseys don't show... there are still some billboards showing the Lakers jersey though...

    can anyone explain this to me?

    Mamba's eat lizards for breakfast, lunch and dinner :D

    Thanks

    Adidas doesn't own the logos and team names of the NBA. They might have exclusive rights on them for a few years in which case Nike paid them a royalty for permission to use it in this billboard.
