He’s only worn two numbers throughout his professional NBA career, and he’s once again making the switch.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will reportedly be switching back to jersey number 6 in time for next season, echoing the move that he made a decade ago after his infamous “Decision” to bolt for the Miami Heat.

The decision comes on the heels of his donning the number in his new movie “Space Jam: A New Legacy”.
James wore #23 at the start of his NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a tribute to Michael Jordan, and then switched to #6 upon his arrival in South Beach. He went back to #23 after going back to Cleveland in 2014, and kept it upon his arrival in Los Angeles.
