“It’s LeBron’s decision,” Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group told ESPN. “He chose to out of respect for Bill Russell.” As noted by McMenamin, the No. 6 was retired league-wide last season following the passing of Russell. James wore the No. 6 for one final season to honor the Hall of Famer.

Bottom Line: Back to the start

  • No. 23 (2004-2010) Cavaliers

  • No. 23 (2015-2018) Cavaliers
  • No. 23 (2019-2021) Lakers
  • No. 6 (2022-2023) Lakers
