Lebron James wants the NBA to retire the number 23 across the entire NBA as a tribute to Michael Jordan. This is obviously a completely ridiculous idea.
When asked about it by Amhad Rashad on "The Real NBA" Show on NBA TV, Michael Jordan inserted logic and common sense into the "debate" and pointed out that players like Russell, Chamberlain, and others would also have to have their numbers retired for something like this to make sense. Why? Because to paraphrase Jordan's comments, the NBA is bigger than one player. Jordan went on to say-half jokingly but probably more accurate than we want to admit-that Lebron might be looking to sell more # 23 Cavs Jersey's. A clear reference to the fact that Lebron conducts himself like a brand as opposed to a real person.
Is it me or does it seem like every comment Lebron makes is now a calculated PR move?
