Iconic LeBron James banner comes down in Cleveland 2 days after he signed with Lakers

Cleveland is breaking up with LeBron James in a very visible way. A 10-stories-tall banner of James, his arms outstretched Christ-like before roaring stadium fans, that covers Sherwin-Williams headquarters is already being torn down.

The Nike banner is an icon in Cleveland, and a popular spot for Instagram photos, but the athletic company is tearing it down faster than an ex-boyfriend can get a tattoo of his former flame's name erased. A local news station even livestreamed the removal.
