Lebron is going to change his number from 23 to 6 because it is dishonorable to MJ. He also wants the other guys wearing 23 to do the same.

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James wants NBA players to give up their No. 23s to honor of Michael Jordan.

James said he has been considering the change for some time. 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.

"It's time," James said. "He's the best basketball player we've ever seen. Mike does it on the court and off the court. If you see 23, you think about Michael Jordan. You see guys flying through the air, you think about Michael Jordan. You see game-winning shots, you think about Michael Jordan. You see fly kicks, you think about Michael Jordan. He did so much, it has to be recognized, and not just by putting him in the Hall of Fame."

"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."

The reigning MVP frequently wears No. 6 as a practice jersey with the Cavaliers. He wears that number because his second-favorite player is Julius "Dr. J" Erving and it holds other special meaning.

"I wore 32 back in high school because Dr. J wore it at first," he said. "My first ***** was born on Oct. 6, my second ***** was born in June. If I'm not going to wear 23, I'm going to wear 6."

Fuck Lebron. He doesn't want to wear 23 because it is dishonorable, but it's o.k to dishonor Dr.J by wearing 6?? O.K. Fair enough.

Oh wait!! If he can't wear 23, than nobody else should be allowed to either?? Who the fuck does Lebron think he is? If he doesn't want to wear it, fine, but who is he to tell the other guys they shouldn't be allowed to wear it. 23 isn't retired.

I used to like the guy. But after the whole video confiscation and now this, the guy is clearly a piece of ****.

Totally agree!

BTW... did anyone see this dunk?

I was at the arena There must have been a buzz for about 12 minutes.

Oh I saw the dunk. It was beautiful. Lebron called it one of the best dunks he's ever seen. Way to bitch out on your teammate LJ.

Dwayne Wade is the best player in the league. Ya I said it.

Lakers got their ass handed to them. Fucccccccking rage. Gasol, you can come back anytime now. The 2nd unit needs to step up. Especially when the starters are off their game and ESPECIALLY on these back to backs.

Boston lost too.At home. Crawford is looking good in a Hawk uniform. Looks like they might be turning the corner.

go warriors!

 

[rwill25]

Holy ****! Brandon Jennings scores 55 points against the Warriors. The dude didn't even score in the first quarter. :bowdown:

Oh... and D-Wade... :bowdown:

 

[JH28]

I think Jennings will make some of the other high talent high school **** go overseas for a year and then come back if they are that good. At least get paid for having to wait 1 year.

 

[feller469]

LeBron wants to wear #6 huh? Dr. J. Bill Russell.

 

[titsrock]

^
No, that's not the reason. He wants to wear #6 because he thinks that's how many rings he'll win with his beloved yankees, while he *moonlights* as a Knicks player...

 

[STDiva]

I can't wait for Rubio to come into the league so he can get lit up by Jennings all day long.
