Lebron running through numbers like Wilt ran through bitches :applause:

[D-Rose]

I saw that from this guy...but who is he? No one else has reported it. Reporters love little nuggets like that.

[Smook A.]

Why not just stay with #6?

[Rodmantheman]

Lebron running through numbers like Wilt ran through bitches :applause:

:lebronamazed:

[BuffaloBill]

he'd be the second best player in the league with that number

[sportjames23]

Lebron running through numbers like Wilt ran through bitches :applause:


:roll: :roll: :roll:

[NumberSix]

Maybe because it's associated with being his Miami number.

[HylianNightmare]

what the ****

[Spaulding]

Maybe because it's associated with being his Miami number.

Pretty much.

[Eric Cartman]

Lebron running through numbers like Wilt ran through bitches :applause:

Biggest bitch of the bunch is Lebron.

[Mr. Incredible]

It's the number he wore his freshman year in high school.

[D-Rose]

Don't believe this people, it's not a reputable source and no one else has said it. I think it's 6 or 23.

FWIW, it's on his Wikipedia page.

Edit: Not anymore.

magic james

This was reported after he signed with the Cavs yesterday.

[Thunderfan86]

Inb4 Lebron says Magic Johnson's number should be retired league wide.

[NumberSix]

This was reported after he signed with the Cavs yesterday.
I like it. I'm kinda glad that #6 LeBron will always be ours.

[Mr. Incredible]

I like it. I'm kinda glad that #6 LeBron will always be ours.
I wonder if we will retire it eventually....?

[J Shuttlesworth]

Damn, I just found my old Cavs jersey I burned too

next number he will still will be Kobe's, but will it be 8 or 24?

[inclinerator]

lebron's top 4 are jordan erving johnson and bird

he's wearing 33 in his final chapter

[Mr. Incredible]

next number he will still will be Kobe's, but will it be 8 or 24?
LeBron only wears players numbers who are top 10 all-time.

Oh, no question about it. 2 rings, 2 MVPs, 2 FMVPs as a Heat. There no doubt about it.

Compare Tim Hardaway's 5 year Heat career to LeBron's 4 year Heat career. There's no question about it.

Well, if LeBron wore 8 or 24...... It then would be a top 10 player's number.

[Meticode]

It's a new chapter in his life. He wore 32 his freshman year in high school. That's the number her started with. I expected a number change.

[FatComputerNerd]

Reggie Miller mentioned it during their summer league game last night.

[dannysc305]

No freakin way. His replacement James Ennis wears #32, they are both athletic, about the same height, and they are both named James. Hopefully the similarities don't stop there.

[alanLA92]

The reason Lebron went away from #23 was because he felt it should be retired league wide for Jordan.

#6 isn't going to be used because that was his number in Miami.

#32 makes sense because its basically reversing his old cavs number while staying with the whole Jordan number should be retired opinion.

It's not because he's reversing it. He wore #32 his freshman year at St. Vincent St. Mary's. Then wore #23 starting his sophomore season.

:lol

Well nvm then lol. Thought he wore 23 throughout HS.

[Mamba]

lebronjames.com had a graphic of him wearing a cavs #6 uni yesterday but it has now been taken down. I think its legit that he's wearing number 32.

Awesome.

Technically.

[KOBEtherealKing]

8 & 24 > 23 & 32

Wanna be kobe so bad by switching numbers on 1 team


















:kobe:

[MMM]

Good for jersey sales
More leagues need to take advantage of their star players changing jersey #s and teams.

MLB could make a nice dime with Trout jerseys in NY, Bos, Chicago, etc.

[red1]

Technically.
technically or not it's still two teams :lol

[Killbot]

sales-

Yep. This is exactly it.

[TonyMontana]

We sure as hell knew he wouldn't be going back to #23.

This cawksucker is trying to milk as much money as he can from the economically weak. If he went back to his old number none of them would waste their money on the new jersey(ok I take that back, some of them probably still would)

[Poetry]

It's not because he's reversing it. He wore #32 his freshman year at St. Vincent St. Mary's. Then wore #23 starting his sophomore season.

Yeah, plus Dr. J was his second favorite player and...

I like it. His #6 should be reserved for his Miami years.

Plus, way down the road when all of his career highlights are being put together, you will be able to tell at which stage he was in his career during said highlight.

On top of that, he's making a push to have 23 retired NBA-wide. If that number is retired around the league, what will the Cavs retire when that time comes?

It's a good call.


Wonder if he had to get an OK from Larry Hughes, though? :pimp:

Weren't you a major Lebron dickrider that all of this forum hated before all this happened?

Both, hopefully.

[ILLsmak]

I still can't get over that dude is going back to Cleveland. Even more hilarious, people are actually happy for him. wow...

People wanna argue about did the big 3 era fail, yeah cuz it broke up after 4 years. I hope he sticks in Cleveland, but this is gonna look bad on his resume fosho.

I was shocked about that myself. I always had him pegged as your typical Lebron cumslurper.

[PizzamanIRL]

Makes more money because everyone will want the new jersey with the new num

[D-Rose]

Reported by who? Absolutely nobody credible AFAIK.

[dannywpt]

Why not just stay with #6?

That would just remind everyone how he will never come close to MJ
