LeBron to switch numbers as tribute to Jordan "He can't get the logo, and if he can't, something has to be done," James said, referring to the NBA logo that's modeled on a silhouette of Jerry West. "I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. Nobody. If I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it"... He's willing to switch to No. 6 — his U.S. Olympic team number — and wants to start a petition to get every player in the league wearing 23 to give up the number. ********************************************** Great idea from LBJ. I hope it comes to pbutt...
Team-wise, you're probably right but It'd be free publicity for all the players currently involved. Who knows, maybe they'll go for it...
i think it is a good sign of respect from lebron to mike and from anyone else that agrees to give up 23 in tribute to mj
I love jordan and lebron what hes trying to do is admirable but just coming from lebron is honor enough. i dont think if every team gives it up, jordan was not jackie robinson he was the greatest of all time at his position and was a hero to many but you cant compare to what robinson did no way. everybody wears his logo worldwide that should be enough to give him honors.
