LeBron James will change his uniform from No. 6 to No. 23 next season. “It’s LeBron’s decision,” Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group told ESPN. “He chose to out of respect for Bill Russell.” The NBA retired No. 6 league-wide last August; James wore it a final season to honor Russell

Retiring #6 league wide is a bit much. I know they did it for Jackie Robinson in baseball, but one could argue what he did truly transcended the game.

Bill Russell was great, but he isn't bigger than basketball. He's already a revered legend of the highest order. This feels like too much.

Once the league retires #23 for Jordan, Lebron is just screwed. :lol

He wants the Lakers to retire two of his numbers like they did for Kobe

Leading a super team to the lottery gets your number retired these days?

Well it came with a sensible explanation that you will choose to ignore based on your feelings about the man. I wanna say he'd planned to switch to #6 a year sooner than he did but the league rejected because they missed a deadline?

Imagine being upset about this. :oldlol:

You guys are weird as ****.
