Artist Jones Never painted a mural of LeBron James, declaring him "The King of LA."
But it didn't go over so well.
First it was vandalized and fans quickly complained.
The artist finally decided to paint over it, saying, "I don't know if it's LeBron haters or Kobe fans or just someone who wants attention."
Well now, there's a new mural in town that should satisfy all Lakers fans.
It features James looking up at Lakers greats including Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain. They've got their trophies in hand and are sitting atop the Staples Center and the Forum, which is the old Lakers arena.
