It’s been a whirlwind year for LeBron James after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to winning the NBA championship.

The native of Akron, Ohio has had his likeness made out of different materials.

One fan created his face out of dryer lint, the team’s logo was the focus of the butter sculpture at the Ohio State Fair, and now he’s been carved into a corn maze.

Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Ohio, carved James’ likeness into their maze, called “Homegrown Hero.” The maze also includes the NBA championship trophy and the word “Believeland.”

Kelly Clement, who owns the farm with her husband Greg, tend to struggle with a theme for their corn maze, but not this year.

“We’re huge fans of the Cavaliers. We’ve been ticket season holders for years,” Kelly told ABC News about the seven-acre creation. “Every year we brainstorm what should we theme the maze around and … it was a no-brainer.”

The corn was planted in July and the maze was cut earlier in the month,

“It’s easier to manage,” Kelly said.

The Clements posted a photo of the corn maze online and it quickly went viral, including a mention from the Cavaliers.
