Also, LeBron has just told Larry King in an interview that Cleveland "has an edge" over the other teams in free-agency. So I agree with ss - wouldn't read too much into the number change in terms of where he'll sign.
What Panther32 said - LeBron announced that he would be doing this ages ago, probably around midseason. Agree that marketing was probably always a factor.
It's all a marketing thing. If you wear number 23, you can't be marketed as effectively as a brand because 23 is always associated with Michael Jordan.
Well, wait until he ACTUALLY heads over to Chicago first =P
Considering for Chicago, the "23" jersey is retired, it would be ludicrous to even think of giving it to him. When a jersey is retired for a team, it shouldn't be taken down for a newcomer to wear.
On the subject, I remember years ago seeing Pearce, Mackay and Green's singlets hanging from the rafters at the Powerhouse. What ever happened to them?
Someone from overseas posted some spam on the forum. I deleted it before I'd noticed a funny post from g-diddy. I thought'd I'd recreate the thread just so the follow up could be added.
