Yesterday, redditer spyler87 captured a photo of crews taking down the city mural on the side of the Sherwin Willilams building to make room for a massive LeBron James banner that’s slated to go up in the next few days.

The banner, which is sponsored by Nike and features James performing his pre-game signature chalk ritual in front of a crowd, will be unveiled before the Cavs home opener next Thursday night. 

If you haven’t yet seen the new LBJ banner, here’s a peek. Picture this, 10 stories tall.

  1. LeBron isn’t Cleveland. I think the city mural was a much better representation of Cleveland. Why are we acting as if LeBron makes Cleveland what it is!? He’s from Akron anyways, and over the years Cleveland has excelled without LeBron!

  2. I actually took this photo from my office window at Sherwin Williams… just because some random dude posts it on Reddit doesn’t make it his.
