Replacement for LeBron James banner will feature thousands of everyday people - not one superstar

(Cleveland City Planning Commission)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A new banner planned for the space where images of LeBron James hung for years will feature thousands of regular people - not one superstar.

The Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled an image of the banner this week, gaining approval from a downtown-focused design-review committee Thursday and the Cleveland City Planning Commission on Friday.

The central image, of one of the Art Deco Guardians of Traffic that stand sentinel over the Lorain-Carnegie (Hope Memorial) Bridge, will be a collage of crowdsourced photos of Clevelanders and Cavs fans.
