One day over a beautiful weekend I saw and heard Lebron James state that he was going to change his number due to the great player who has worldwide made the number such a commodity. Micheal Jordan. My first reaction was "thats whats up..." Paying homage to one of the GOAT's. But then as I start breaking it down further what about the rest of the players that changed style of the game some how. Thats alot of numbers to retire.
To say that Lebron should have respected the number in the begining is smh...He was his idle why not take the opportunity to where a legends number. Why not be compared to him. . Another thing is people saying that MJ can not be duplicated well MJ best year stat wise is in "89 where he averaged 40 minutes per game, he shot 53% from the field had 8 rebounds and 8 assist per game to go along with 32.5 points a game. He also had 2.89 steals and nearly a block per game. While LeBron averaged 42 minutes per game, he shot 47.2% from the field, grabbed 7.0 rebounds a game, dished out 6.6 assists, and averaged 31.4 point per game. To go along with those numbers he had 1.8 steals and nearly a block per game. Now thats pretty close. Well changing his number wont be that
bad of a change since he has already made a name for himself.
I am not sure about the symbol above, but what I thought when I read the formula at the beginning was that maybe this is LBJ's way of dissociating from No. 23 before going to New York to become No. 6 for the Knicks. Was that what you were implying? I hope not:-(
