LeBron James was dropped off a building this past weekend. Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of James on a mural in downtown Cleveland on Saturday. The billboard has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being removed after the superstar announced he was leaving the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. As strips of the image of James, his arms outstretched and head thrown back after doing his pregame powder toss, began coming off, pedestrians stopped on Ontario Street to take photos and cars pulled to the side for one last look at No. 23, who has gone from being a hometown hero to villain. “We are removing the LeBron James Witness mural in downtown Cleveland and expect the process to be completed within a few days,” Nike spokesman KeJuan Wilkins said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Wilkins said he does not yet know what the company’s plans are with the gigantic sign, which includes the phrase: “We Are All Witnesses” over James’ image. It’s very bittersweet.

I am the huge fan of Lebron James, but his decision grieved me and surprised. And not though Im not the occupant Cleveland I m think this was bad decision. he had very strong team he was king in Cleveland , lost with the Boston among others was the result of his weird game, he was ill maybe or had personal problems, can happen every one , but he should not go away from Cleveland, his one ring there meant more than 7 in Miami. this looks like he really give up. I am still his fan and cant wait for his games with Wade and Bosh. I still think that he is the best player in the game, but this will not be the same any more. :cry:
and I have such poster in my room on the whole wall, but I dont pull off him he is hot.
He needed to move. He doesnt want to be the ringless king with bad knees at 33
So will Lebron be able to do his chalk move or will Dan Gilbert say thats his move
