-- A new mural of LeBron James in Los Angeles has already been defaced and fixed and James has only been a Laker for nine days.
The mural on the side of Baby Blues BBQ in Venice went up after James joined the Lakers on July 1 and depicts the former Cavalier in a Lakers uniform, declaring him “The King of LA.”
The app is set to be released on Friday, August 24 and Francesa will broadcast from Bar Anticipation in Lake Como, New Jersey to mark the occasion.
“The ‘Mike’s On’ app will debut Friday, August 24th. The same day we take the radio program to Bar A,” Francesa tweeted on Sunday.
Francesa has said the launch is just in time for football season because his NFL Sunday show will stream exclusively on the app.
