"I just think what Bill Russell has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon," said James, who has worn 6 since he was a member of the Miami Heat. "There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn't Bill Russell first.

"He can't get the logo [Hall of Famer Jerry West's silhouette adorns the NBA's logo], and if he can't, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 6. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 6, then nobody else should be able to wear it."

I'm happy he's going back to 23. Get to rock the old jersey for games, and overall we can put 23 in the rafters knowing it was the only number he wore in Cleveland.

...Most NBA teams have set aside No. 23 in honor of Michael Jordan, with the Heat having gone as far as to place Jordan's No. 23 jersey in the rafters at AmericanAirlines Arena....
... Major League Baseball has retired the No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson, with the National Hockey League doing the same with Wayne Gretzky's No. 99...

I think LeBron should have picked another number to identify himself, kind of like how Mario Lemieux picked 66 instead of 99. I think he should have picked 32 or 6.
What happens if you do become a legend? You going to share a number with a legend more legendary than yourself or have your own number? The good thing is that in the NHL, the number 1 is usually for goalies and that number, no matter how good you are, will never get retired.

However, it's just a number. So many super stars come and go with the same number on different teams. If the league kept on retiring numbers of elite players, we would have teams with players getting assigned numbers in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. That, I think, would be a bit ridiculous.
