Removing 23 from circulation is non-sense. Any such action should begin with the number 13. It's a measure of how diseased our culture is that so many need to adore to the point of reverent worship a mere athlete. (iao).
ANother show of power by the King! Want king wants, king gets. He can even get a NFL player moved to another city. And just what number did Jordan ask to retire in honor of those before him! NBA is down to two players The King, and Mr Kobe. Put the sixers in on top of that mess, and I would say the NBA stinks.
This idiot and MJ are both classless dickheads. Jordan never did anything for anyone but himself. It would be an affront to an athelete like Jackie Robinson to put MJ on a similar level.
I agree. MJ only cared about MJ. He's no Jackie Robinson. And Julius Erving [6] was a pretty good player in his time, and more of a trailblazer [ABA] than MJ.
Brilliant idea! And then after retiring Jordan's number, we can retire Magic's and Larry's and Kareem's and Wilt's and Dr. J's and Pistol Pete's and Archibald's and Barry's and Cousy's and Robertson's.... Doesn't LeBron have any idea about the history off the game?
King James is doing a good job of keeping his name in the media spotlight, but his campaign will never become a reality. Professional athletes are too egotistical, and maybe Lou Williams doesn't have an issue changing his number, but other players around the NBA will. I would love to be in the visitors locker room when the announcement is being made that Lebrons petition is being passed around. It will be crumpled up on the floor faster than the suit Larry Brown bought for Iverson.
I would like to ban strange african american names like lebron and leteisha.
Call me jaded and cynical, methinks LeBron's "Quest" might have less to do with his respect for Mike and a LOT MORE to do with the Air-heir's relationship with Nike.
What are we on now? Air LeBron Series 7? Follow the money...
It would be mind-blowing & bank-filling to Nike if Mike (Air Jordan) were officially recognized as the only NBA player to have his jersey number retired League wide.
If LeBron could pull it off...WOW! Think of the commercials!!! Think of the new retro products! Think of the reward $$$ LeBron would get!!!
DUMBEST. IDEA. EVER.
Why? If the Bulls want to retire 23, go for it. As far as I know, there's no reason why there should be a league-wide retiring of the number. This isn't like in baseball where 42 was retired league-wide to recognize Jackie Robinson's accomplishments.
so he is honoring MJ byy dissing Dr. J
..and LaQuanna, and Lemongeelo & Orangello (real names of twin brothers!), and Demontrious, and all the other made up AA names. Even real Africans are named John and Sally.
I suggest all of us with addresses using #23 sell them and fund LeBronno's quest to become assistant commissioner of the NBA. CHip in a few extra bucks in case he needs any sports fiqures traded to another town... I will only watch him to see him lose.
