LeBron James has suggested that the NBA should have its players stop wearing the number 23 in recognition of Michael Jordan. This came after Jordan showed up at his game last night in Miami, watching James and Dwayne Wade play against each other. Afterwards came James’ suggestion and it’s interesting to have such an idea coming out of him. He says he’s been thinking of it for awhile and will probably change his number next season in tribute. He hasn’t talked with the other 23s around the league, but he thinks that it’s at least a nice tribute to the player that influenced so many other players over the course of the last decade or so. It’s his example that they are all trying to live up to. Let see if this suggestion goes anywhere or if it was just a kind of niceness statement.
