Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks
On Thursday, this billboard was erected along I-43 in Milwaukee, courtesy of the fans at SaveOurBucks.com. The group wants the team to fully commit to losing in order to snag one of the potential franchise-changing players in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Bucks currently have the NBA's worst record at 5-20. In the meantime, here are some other memorable sports-related billboards.
You Are Not Welcome Here
In one of my favorite NBA stories of the season, Thunder center Kendrick Perkins politely asked Bulls center Joakim Noah to leave the Oklahoma City locker room following last night's game. And by politely, I mean he said, “Get your a– up out of here.” Noah had been invited by former teammate Thabo Sefolosha.

The Charmed Life
Not only is Rafael Nadal one of the world's top tennis players, he also knows his way around the poker table.

But Negreanu is claiming the victory was all luck and wants a rematch. As for the charmed life headline, let's not forget Nadal's 2012 SI Swimsuit appearance with Bar Refaeli.

Kobe Bryant shares a laugh with Michael Jordan during the 2003 All-Star Game. Bryant isn't laughing these days after finding out a knee injury will cost him another six weeks. SI's Lee Jenkins thinks Kobe's injury will provide the Lakers an opportunity to finally rebuild for the future.
Where's the Love?
Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is having a career year with 89 catches and 914 yards but he sure has a strange way of showing appreciation toward his quarterback. In October, he famously dissed Tom Brady's attempted high five on the sideline and yesterday he refused to acknowledge the nickname Mini-Tron given to him by No. 12.
