LeBron James Lets Go Of Jersey No. 23 Following Space Jam 2 Release Here s Why!
LeBron James will show a massive change inside the court by not wearing his usual jersey no. 23 in the next season.
Ahead of the release of his new movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, LeBron decided to continue wearing the no. 6 jersey in the next season.
According to The Athletic s Shams Charania and Tim Cato, the move will give a nod to the movie where he wears the jersey No. 6.
In 2019, he almost changed the number as well when Anthony Davis joined the Lakers from the New Orleans Pelicans. At that time, LeBron wanted to give him the no. 23 as it remains the only number he has been wearing since college.
LeBron James revealed bad news despite his recent recovery from his injury.
On Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers came back to the court with LeBron to face Sacramento Kings. He set massive records upon his return with 16 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.
Establishing the numbers is truly shocking, especially since he went on hiatus from 20 games over six weeks. His recent absence is also by far the longest time he missed games in his career due to an injury.
Because of this, King James set the records straight and revealed what the future holds for him.

For instance, NBC Sports and PointsBet predicted that LeBron would add another MVP honor under his belt - his first since 2013.
In all his games, the 36-year-old basketball player leads the Los Angeles Lakers with 25.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game.
