We now know the real reason why LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA title in June -- to get butter sculptures.
OK, so that may be a stretch, but the Cavs and their fans are in for a treat if they venture to the Ohio State Fair in Columbus.
On Tuesday, the fair released butter sculptures honoring the champs, including likenesses of the championship trophy, the Cavs' logo and the team's mascots.

This isn't the first year the fair has honored an Ohio champion. Last year, it honored the then-champion Ohio State football team with butter sculptures.

The Cavs sculptures are a product of the American Dairy Association Mideast, which used more than 2,000 pounds of butter to produce the masterpiece in 500 hours.
The fair is open Wednesday through Aug. 7, so there's plenty of time to see the display.
