LeBron James is being honored with a dryer lint sculpture in Cleveland

Every city has its own unique way to honor a sporting hero. You might get a sandwich named after you, a statue erected or a day in your name. If you achieve the pinnacle of sporting achievement in Cleveland, you get a statue made out of dryer lint.

Laugh all you want, but this LeBron James lint statue is pretty friggin’ amazing. That’s a stunning amount of dryer lint to collect, mold and make a pretty good looking LeBron out of. Any local politician can sign a document, this is art.

If you’re in Cleveland, you definitely need a selfie with LintBron James.
