With the Nets and Knicks expected to both be in the hunt for several high-profile NBA stars during free agency, billionaire Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has purchased billboard space near Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks, to tout the Nets as having “The Blueprint for Greatness,” according to reports on ESPN’s website and the New York Times’ website.
The billboard displays a “massive image” of Prokhorov and Nets minority owner Jay-Z, and was completed just before the start of free agency, which begins tonight at 12:01 a.m.
According to the report, the billboard is located at 34th and 8th in Manhattan, within sight of the Knicks’ offices near the Garden.
