Located a full-court buzzer shot, or two, away from Quicken Loans Arena, the shoe giant’s billboard and its “We Are All Witnesses” tag line immediately makes you want to take out a second mortgage for season ticket cash. The image of “The Chosen One” was captured by Associated Press photographer Mark Duncan during a first-quarter breakaway Nov. 15, 2003, against the Philadelphia 76ers.
