As it should, the LeBron banner will be coming down this week, Sherwin-Williams confirmed this morning.
Why anyone would want it to remain up is a bit confusing. (Like, we’re don’t hate LeBron for his decision, but he also doesn’t play for Cleveland any longer.)
Anyway, the company will evaluate what to do with the space in the future. Hopefully they won’t once again put a big image of Cleveland’s skyline on a building that’s part of Cleveland’s skyline. (A refresher look here, if you’ve already forgotten how bad it was.)
Most of the suggestions for what could replace the iconic banner so far have been pretty dumb. Here’s to hoping the space is used for some big public art made by a local artist.

Good and we never have to see it again. Now all the James jock sniffers can gather outside the Q and burn jerseys and bobble heads
But the more important question is…what will an asshat like you do for kicks, now that you don’t have the Drama King to kick around anymore? Who will be your next target and who will be your Flopster NEXT year? Frankie? One of the new Browns? Will Kevin become the man you Love to hate?
You butt hurt Grizz?
The fake wrist prop in press conference after game 4 was a nice touch.
He was trying to take away the embarrassment of getting swept. Hahahaha
He belongs in LA with the rest of the egomaniacs.
Regarding the Browns, its the whole organization…they are good for nothing but laughs.
I hope I get to go to another 0-16 parade.
Now go root for your Cubs dbag
Jealous, kid? They will probably kick the Tribe’s ass again Got that out of the way fast. If you want to be an a-hole, I have all the time in the world to piss all over your replies until you think it’s raining. How much time have YOU got, assclown? You’re the one that’s the flop. You’re an immature little pest. Using teen-aged online expressions like “butthurt” proves that right out of the box, sonny. Type like a grown-up, fer chrissakes. Grow the f’k up or GTFO.
My life has not revolved around pro sports for decades. Let them suck again. Let them finish with 50-60 losses. It really doesn’t matter, in either the long run or day-to-day.. Get a goddam life and stop caring so much about the greedheads between the lines and in the front office. You’ll feel a lot better when you care less, and your sorry-assed life will stop sucking so much.
Truth be told,, it’s more fun when a team sucks. Then a win is a surprise and a delight and a joy. Any bandwagon-jumper can root for a team in victory. The teams you fall in love with are the teams that stink. Ask any Browns fan. Or Tribe. Or Cubs.
Can’t wait for October, so I can dump all over you again. Not trying to piss off the rest of Cleveland’s fanbase, folks, just this shmuck. He’s been a jerk for a long time. What will he do now without his LeBron to whine about? Poor baby. Wah wah wah and boo f’king hoo.
Why do we have to put giant pictures on our buildings?
You mad bro? Hahahaha. Go downtown and shed a tear when they tear down the mural. And after
that hop on a plane with your boy to LA and join the rest of the ahole. Otherwise, shut your pie hole and stop
being so angry. Sweep! Sweep! Lol!!!!

I’m happy to see it go. LeBron, although he is a good athlete, was not a good public figure. His presence and image in this city (and that territorializing banner) has been consistently marred by his public persona. As a high profile person, he is entitled to use his free speech to influence others, so I am glad to see him in an environment like LA that fits him better.
