LeBron James To Wear No. 23 For Cavs

Earlier this month LeBron James asked fans on his Instagram page if he should go back to the No. 23 he wore during his first seven seasons in the NBA with the Cavaliers, or should stick with the No. 6 that he wore during four straight Finals appearances and two titles with the Heat? James has made a decision, thanks in no small part to his fan’s reactions.

The last time we saw LeBron in a No. 23 uniform he was losing to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2010. He’s going back, as he reported on his Instagram this morning:

“23 it is! It’s only right I go back. 2·3=6 We still family 6. #HomeTeam #StriveForGreatness”

Hopefully the NBA Store has stocked up on No. 6 Cavs jerseys for the coming onslaught of purchases.

Smart choice by LeBron?
