Sports:Will Lebron Give Up His Number #23 Jersey?

lebron-james-to-wear-6-lead

Last week LeBron James announced in a post-game interview last night that to honor Michael Jordan, he’ll not wear the same jersey number. Pat Riley, President of the Miami Heat, hung Michael Jordan’s 23 jersey in the Heat’s arena, paying tribute to a player who never even played for them. Riley stated that Jordan is hands down the best player ever and that his jersey should be hung league-wide. James, whose Cavs beat the Heat that same night, also believes the same thing, saying that no player should wear 23, and the league should retire Jordan’s jersey, such as  Jackie Robinson in the MLB. In the same interview, he said he planned to wear 6 next year, which he wore in the Olympics in 2008, and to start a petition saying that no player should ever wear 23 again.
