Michael Jordan apparently was in the house when LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Miami Heat down in Florida. His presence has apparently inspired James to give up the number he wears, No. 23, out of respect for Jordan, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
James
will be wearing No. 6 next season, wherever he ends up. He apparently
wants every player in the league to give up No. 23 out of respect for
Jordan. "I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to
be recognized some way soon," James said. "There would be no LeBron
James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn't Michael Jordan first."
Nice gesture LeBron.
However… do you realize the greatest winner in NBA history, and the true pioneer of the league – Bill Russell – wore #6?
There would be no Jordan, if not for Russell.
