The King of the North is coming.
Commuters in Oakland woke up Friday morning to a billboard of a completely unphased Kawhi Leonard staring back with his arms folded in front of him, a hit list of Orlando, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee crossed out over his shoulder with Golden State listed next in the crosshairs.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals immediately put to rest any concerns the Toronto Raptors would shrink under the league’s brightest lights, as the new billboard in Oakland proves they are ready for the highest level of trash talk as well.
