LeBron James Witness Banner Championship Update

The famous LeBron James "Witness" banner that hangs across from Quicken Loans Arena dates back to 2005, when it was first hung by his partners at Nike. Originally an image of James dunking during his rookie season, the banner evolved into the iconic image of his pre-game chalk toss. The 212-foot wide mural fell when James took his talents to South Beach in 2010, but returned when he did in 2014. Now, with the King's mission in Cleveland accomplished, Nike has given it an appropriate update.

Stretched across the banner, which now depicts James facing backwards with Cleveland in place of his name on his jersey, is the word "Champions" with the Cavs' logo in place of the letter "C." Considering tonight's result, it's hard to imagine this version of the banner being pulled anytime soon.
