LeBron James recently joined the Lakers, and fans are already trying to run him out of town, kind of.

Artist Jones Never painted a mural of James last week, declaring him "The King of LA." Some fans were quick to take offense to the statement and painted additional messages, like "We don't want you," on top of Never's work.

One person even offered fans $300 to alter the mural.

Never removed the comments from the mural, even taking out the word "of."

However, people continued vandalizing the mural, so Never painted over it.
