LeBron James' Jersey Number Switch Has Fans Confused
06/09/2021 04:53 pm EDT
One fan wrote: "Remember, the last game LeBron wore #6 was on the Heat in the 2014 NBA Finals when Miami famously lost to Aron Baynes and the Spurs. By switching back to #6, this could be LeBron's way of settling some unfinished business."
Another fan wrote: "Second Look: LeBron decides against donning #6 when Nike informs him that he may have to pay millions to buy out remaining inventory of unsold #23 jerseys."
"The ego won't allow him to let the players in the playoffs get any attention because they are still playing," one fan revealed. "I think we all know who the biggest LeBron fan is. Yep it's LeBron."
One fan asked: "Hmmmm Interesting. Kobe is the only one to have both 8 & 24 retired. Is Bron really thinking the Lakers will retire his 23 & 6 now?"
"Yup I had a idea he was going to do this lol js as a fan it did cross my mind since he's like going into his last season?!" one fan stated. "Anyways I hope he goes bananas all season long bring that same energy from his Heat days lol and this was supposed to be done when AD first got there too."
One fan speculated: "Last time he did that he went to Heat…Riley said publicly a few days ago that he would leave a shiny key under the mat if Lebron wants to come back? Hmmm!! "
It's very likely the NBA will sell a lot of No. 6 Lakers jerseys this summer. But does the jersey change mean that James is more motivated than ever to get his fifth championship ring? Only time will tell, but after a rough 2020-21 season, James will likely be back stronger than ever.
