LeBron to switch numbers
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James said he will switch jersey numbers next year, dropping No. 23 for No. 6.
James said that Michael Jordan is his hero and that he feels like the jersey number should only belong to His Airness.
He had been 50-50 on the jersey switch for some time, but said he has already sent the change into the league office.
The league office has the authority to reject the request, but it would be very strange for them to do so.
James wears No. 6 for the Olympic team, but it’s unknown if it has any other significance.
