But not long after his signing with the Lakers, Nike quickly put up billboards steps away from Staples Center — a vertical portrait of James in the Lakers' home uniform towered over 30 floors, and an iconic tomahawk dunk image from his 2003 rookie debut overtook the entire width of the JW Marriott building.
