Philadelphia 76ers fans are really leaning into the whole “we have a chance to land LeBron James” thing. The Sixers were the first team to have a fan base to buy a bunch of billboards with the hopes that James would see them and get swayed, but apparently, that wasn’t enough for one Philly fan (or group of Philly fans) that has far too much money.
A trio of banners are flying around over the Barclays Center, the site of the 2018 NBA Draft. All of them share a similar theme: They involve messages to James about what would happen if he were to join the Sixers. Here’s a picture of what they all look like as they fly around.

You can’t quite see what is on the banners here, but another picture provides a little more clarity. All of them make the case that the best place for James to win championships is in the city that wants him more than any: Philadelphia.

Sure, we can all safely bet that James isn’t actually at the draft, so he’s not going to be walking around Park Slope and randomly look up and see all of these. But hey, this is a nice little effort, although I can probably think of about 5,000 better ways to spend money than on a trio of banners that fly around at the NBA Draft.
