LeBron James to go from 23 to 6?

He's hoping so.

March 2, 2010 at 10:11PM

LeBron James fans, get ready to make some room in your closet for No. 6 jerseys. James told The Plain Dealer on Monday that he's filed the paperwork with the NBA office to switch his jersey number from No. 23 to No. 6 next season. He had to make the decision this week, the deadline to make the request to the NBA is Wednesday.

James has said he wants to make the switch out of respect to Michael Jordan. If you were a huge LeBron fan, would you be ticked about at least thinking about buying a new jersey?
