Lebron will wear No. 6 in Miami

Good luck burning No. 23 jerseys, Cleveland fans, because Lebron is changing his number to no. 6. I'm trying to figure out why but other than merchandising reasons, the no. 6 makes absolutely no sense. Although one could take it like Lebron is no longer trying to live in the shadow of Jordan? Or is that too poetic?

As we all know, LeBron James(notes) filed papers to change his number from 23 to 6 back when he was still in Cleveland. But now that he's switched teams, that's irrelevant. However, judging by what the NBA's online store is offering, James will be wearing 6 when he joins the Heat this fall. 

Well my no. 23 Heat jersey is totally worthless now.
