CLEVELAND - The "Witness" banner that held court in downtown Cleveland in honor of former Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James has come down.

Crews finished the two-day procss removal process on Sunday. The iconic Nike banner has hung on the Sherwin Williams building for years.

The banner was one of the last images of James to remain in Cleveland days after he made at televised announcement he was joining the Miami Heat for the 2010-11 NBA basketball season.

James spent seven seasons with Cavs earning two-league MVP awards and leading the team to the NBA finals once and the best record in the NBA twice, including last season.

Nike leases the space and had the banner removed sooner than expected.
