LOS ANGELES (WOIO) - Another LeBron James mural has gone up in Los Angeles, the USA Today is reporting the mural is on Melrose Avenue.

The mural shows James in a Lakers uniform looking at some of the best Lakers holding the NBA Finals trophy.

No. 23 has already won the NBA Finals with the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But a couple of weeks ago a mural that went up in Los Angeles last week has been washed away with white paint after being repeatedly vandalized.

Fans grabbed their yellow spray paint after a Twitter user offered a $300 reward to whoever would deface the mural that hailed James as "The King of L.A."

Phrases like "We don't want you," "LeFraud," and "3-6," which takes aim at his NBA Finals record, were tagged on the piece of art.

The defacing continued, leading the artist to give up and grab the white out brush.
