LeBron James mural by 76ers fan appears in Philadelphia
Summary

A new mural of LeBron James, depicted in a throwback Sixers jersey, has been painted on the wall of Javelin Sushi in Fairmount, Philadelphia. Artist Bill Strobel collaborated with restaurant owner Albert Zheng, a long-time fan of James, to create this artwork. Strobel, assisted by fellow artist Jeannie Zimmerman, began painting the mural last Saturday. The piece reflects both James's cultural impact on the city and Zheng's enthusiasm for the player since his childhood.
