In what I think is a good sign for the Cavs, LeBron will be changing numbers from 23 to 6, most likely, starting next season. Not that he didn't seem genuine in his comments in regards to Michael Jordan, and how the number should be retired by the NBA, but it's a bit silly.
If LeBron stays in Cleveland, this is an amazing way to capture millions more in LBJ jersey sales. Think about how many 23 authentic James' jerseys have been sold, and how many people with the #23 will buy the new #6? I'd say conservatively, worldwide 2million jersey are sold at close to $150 a pop for authentic jerseys right off the bat.....close to $30 mil..... It's a great way for Nike to drum up revenue in the event LeBron doesn't already have a new jersey for next year, IMO.

Don't think jersey sales is his focus... It's his legend...
He wants to establish himself as a legend... and to do this he has to have his own... not the second coming of anyone...

With all due respect Mr. James, this kind of honor should be reserved for people like Jackie Robinson - people who who contributed something to the world other than their play and/or apparel sales.
Michael Jordan is a petty asshole who happened to be a great basketball player. I'm sure LeBron is sincere in his admiration of his basketball and business accomplishments, but MJ is not deserving of this kind of honor in my opinion.

This actually boads well for Cleveland since there would be no point of changing numbers this offseason if he was going to be selling another teams jersey next year. He'd be better off waiting and selling a million #23 Nets jerseys and then changing his number to 6 in a few years and do it again.

Wayne Gretzky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia That being said, Jalen Rose made a good point this morning on SportsCenter (I can't believe I just typed that...). If the NBA was going to retire a jersey, it should perhaps consider someone like Bill Russell first... I hate the C's but Russell won 11 in 13 years and worked very hard on racial/social issues... Jordan is the best, but off the court he's just the greatest shoe salesman ever...
