Ohio farm's tribute to LeBron James is very corny but super awesome
It's common sports knowledge that you haven't made it until you've been immortalized in a gigantic, elaborate piece of corn-maze art only visible from high in the sky.
LeBron James has made it.
Two months ago, James led the Cleveland Cavaliers back from a 3-1 NBA Finals deficit against the Golden State Warriors to bring the franchise its first championship and boost his own standing in basketball history. Now, James finally has the tribute he deserves.

The crafty creation was concocted by Mapleside Farms, an orchard and event venue in Brunswick, Ohio. From left, the three panels feature Cleveland's "Believeland" nickname, a silhouette of James with the words "homegrown hero" and a rendering of the NBA championship trophy, respectively.
It's corny in all the best ways.
