LeBron: I am a Witness
February 21, 2006

I walk down Ontario Street, and catch LeBron James staring down from the side of the Sherwin Williams Building. We are all witnesses. Some called that slogan on the giganticbillboard understated. At first, I found it to be partly bogus and mostly blasphemous (what miracle was he performing?).
