Look: Another new Lakers mural defaced by vandals
Sadly, yet another artist's tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers has been defaced.
Just two days ago, artist Gustavo Zermeno Jr. was nearing completion of a massive mural depicting new Lakers forward LeBron James looking up to franchise greats like Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant.
Unfortunately, someone has turned to vandalism in protest:

Earlier this month, another artist's homage to the Lakers' big signing was defaced with graffiti. Though the original mural was quickly restored, it was then vandalized a second time, and the artist chose to whitewash the entire wall instead:
