Some Los Angeles Lakers fans have come out to show their love for LeBron James by helping restore his vandalized mural. The artwork was defaced by an unknown individual/s and is the second LeBron mural that has been vandalized in the span of a couple of weeks.

SportsCenter shared the clip on their Twitter account, and it is indeed a heartwarming sight, in the midst of such an ill-mannered and cowardly act.

The arrival of LeBron James in Los Angeles has generally been welcomed by the Lakers faithful. The prospect of having arguably the best player of his generation suit up for the purple and gold is, for most, a match made in heaven.

However, there is still a good number of supporters that have not been as receptive. Their dislike comes in varying degrees, and are rooted from equally diverse perspectives.

Some would have preferred to continue building the team from the ground up. Even without James, the Lakers had already successfully put together a young and promising core from scratch, with the likes of Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and Julius Randle all in the mix.

On the other hand, there are also some Lakers supporters — most of which consider Kobe Bryant to be the GOAT — who have spent the last 10 to 20 years hating on LeBron. James as a Laker is simply something they cannot fathom.

Regardless of one's belief, what we should all agree on is that respect towards your fellow human being and their property is something that we must not lose. This was obviously not the case for the vandals. Kudos to the Lakers fans who have come out to restore faith in humanity.
