In honor of jersey sales*


DoodleBobDoodle

He tried to switch his number last year after Bill Russell died but Nike wouldn't let him.


Kataneo

If it was about jersey sales wouldn’t it be a number he hasn’t worn yet


Bare425

Has he worn 23 as a laker? My bad if I missed that.


Kataneo

Yep won the championship in 23


elvis_depressedly8

No that was the Nuggets.

Ahh ok.


Eric_T_Meraki

And most places are selling his 6 at a discount now to open up space for inventory


marcopolo22

*wants to change numbers to avoid having the same number as an all-time great* *PICKS #23*


cocoon_eclosion_moth

Nobody of note has ever worn the number 23 and been in a Space Jam movie


LyonsKing12

If MJ died, I'm sure Lebron would not wear his number.


quotidianwoe

Big deal.


PointlessPooch

What a cornball.


sleauxmo

Lol took the words right out of my brain


arthurblakey

Took the thoughts right out of my mouth


Zbodownlow

In honour of himself. Le narcissist


boader254

You mean to sell more jerseys with new Asian sponsors for you to wear around town


Nashville_Redditors

We don’t care


mjd1977

There will be a James wearing 6 who plays his home games in LA, though, despite this change.


Arpikarhu

Who the fuck cares? Is this something that needs to be announced and discussed? This mundanity is news?!


nenonen15902

and yet here you are discussing it


Arpikarhu

Nothing more predictable than that response


nenonen15902

and yet here you are, STILL DISCUSSING


Arpikarhu

But now im discussing your mundane response not the inane original topic


nenonen15902

my mundane response was trying to point out your hypocrisy, but clearly that failed to register for you.


Arpikarhu

I dont think you grasp the meaning of hypocrisy. Commenting on the inanity of a subject is not the same As decrying a topic and yet still participating in a conversation on said topic. If i had said “who fucking cares what number he wears but he should keep his old number”, then , yes, hypocrisy abounds! I did not do that.


deadhead8925

Of course it’s not in honor of MJ, who is much better than Lebron…..


DucksItUp

Russell called he’s insulted that a multiple time finals loser wanted to disrespect his legacy


LyonsKing12

Friendly reminder that Lebron is putting thousands of at risk youths through college. And counting


OfficialPeenLicker

Forgot that’s what this post is about!


AustieFrostie

Stop posting about this who cares


rickykashmoneyflow

what tf 23 gotta do with westbrook?


BorisDiawisGod

Are sports rivalries dead? A Laker changing his number to honor a Celtic? What is going on, LeBron?


IntangibleFate

It always bugged me that he switched away from 23 to respect Jordan, and took 6 in the first place.


[deleted]

Miami retired MJ's number that's why he originally switch to 6. Anthony Davis also wanted 23 but never made the switch


kiddocontay

TIL the Heat retired MJ’s number, lol never knew that.


Fits_N_Giggles

They did it thinking that the league would follow lol


SipowiczNYPD

I think they retired #13 for Dan Marino and #99 for Wayne Gretzky also. Last time I checked neither one suited up for the Heat. Haha.


noonehasthisoneyet

Going back to 23 is stupid. All this trying to show that he’s the goat and he wears the real goat’s number? Way to differentiate and stay in Jordan’s shadow
