LeBron's new Nike banner to be unveiled for home opener
The 10-story, 200-foot wide Nike banner depicting LeBron James returning to Cleveland will be unveiled on Ontario Street on Oct. 30 ahead of the Cavaliers' 2014-15 home opener.
The wall of the Landmark Office Towers was draped with the Nike "Witness" banner before James' departed for the Miami Heat in 2010. Most recently, it's been home to artwork of Cleveland's skyline. The building is already being readied for the changeover.

Elsewhere in the city, James' presence is already being felt. A downtown parking garage recently became home to a four-story Beats Electronics banner showing off James' Akron tattoo.
