Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has officially changed his jersey number from 23 to 6, the team announced. James had previously tried to make the switch, but the move was blocked by Nike as the deadline to change jerseys had passed and there was still a massive supply of James’ No. 23 jerseys in retail.
This time James had informed the NBA of his intent to make the change a year ago and well before the deadline so he will not be forced to pay any money in order to clear out the remaining stock.
