Braylon Edwards Staying Put?
May 11, 2009Cavaliers vs Hawks Game 4: What To Watch For
May 11, 2009
It goes as no surprise that that most of Cleveland is excited about LeBron James’ first MVP trophy. We’ve all felt that he’s deserved one for the last few seasons, but none of them have had the same aura as this one. But while Clevelanders continue to don their MVP t-shirts, and Nike produces MVP colorways of the popular Zoom LeBron VI, I was a bit surprised – in a good way – to see LeBron getting some love in China.
The image above (and those that follow) comes from NikeLeBron.net, and is of one of the many electronic/projection billboards that congratulate James for winning the 2009 MVP.
After the jump, we have the China-specific poster that commemorates LBJ’s award. It’s two-sided and is pretty detailed. I haven’t seen any for sale on the Interwebs, but I wouldn’t mind picking one up.

according to stephen a smith, that’s actually a billboard in Chinatown in NYC.
I wonder how far behind we are from scrapping billboards all together and just projecting images on to buildings…
@2 Scott, when the NASCAR cars change ad’s mid-race, then I’ll be impressed
@ #3 – how would they change, from Busch Light to Advil to Aquafina through the duration the race?
@ #1: According to Stephen A. Smith, this is proof positive that if LeBron is not heading to the Knicks in 2010, Beijing must definitely be his destination.
that poster is real hot
I would cop alot of gear with those kind of logos f’real
Personal experience tells me he remains largely unknown to the Japanese public. Jordan remains the one US basketball player people here identify most easily. However, if the Cavs pick up a Japanese player… naaah, that’s not gonna happen.
I’m huge in Japan……ok…someone had to say it. As far as Lebron in the far east, you’re crazy if you think he’s a relative unknown there. The NBA is HUGE over there, and while Yao may get the most love, Lebron & Kobe aren’t far behind.
