LOS ANGELES — With NBA free agency opening on June 30, a pair of digital billboards wooing NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard went live over the weekend in Southern California.
The billboards are located along northbound Interstate 5 in Downey, south of Los Angeles. One is an image of a California vanity license plate featuring the word KAWHI. Another says King of SoCal plus #KAWHI2LAC.
The identity of the person or group behind the billboards was not immediately clear, but a Los Angeles Clippers spokesman said the organization had nothing to do with the billboards. Because Leonard is still currently under contract with the Toronto Raptors, the billboards could constitute a tampering violation if the Clippers were involved.
