Number Ideas For LeBron James

LeBron James recently took to his Instagram account to ask fans whether he should wear 6 or 23 next season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, why limit himself to just 6 or 23? We have a bunch of number ideas for him to wear next season.

The number 23. It’s what Cleveland knows him by. In a way, it honors his idol, Michael Jordan. Why not stick with your original number?

The number 6. It’s clean. It’s simple. It’s what he won his championships in. He switched away from 23 because he said there should only be one great #23, Michael Jordan. Plus, to be as great as MJ, 6 is the number of championships he’s chasing.

The only thing that would make Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert more giddy than LeBron’s return to Cleveland, would be for LeBron to wear the number 23 in Comic Sans next season. Dan’s probably squealing just thinking about it.

They say 1 is the most slimming number. Not saying LeBron is fat, but his wife IS pregnant and most times, daddies put on a lot of weight, just like mommies, in the first few trimesters of the pregnancy. Maybe LeBron should make a “Decision” to stop eating so much cake, tubby.

• • •

It’s his iconic 23, but in Roman Numerals. Heck, since the NFL isn’t using them anymore, why not jump on this trend while it’s available LeBron?!

• • •

The number 2. Yes, it’s Kyrie Irving’s number, but what LeBron says goes. Picking this number would be in honor of how many rings he has.

• • •

The number 1,000. LeBron hates fouling out. Well, if he had a number as large as 1,000, refs would be less inclined to call fouls on him. Imagine them at the scorers table, after calling the foul, flashing their fingers up for like 12 minutes until they get all the way up to 1,000. They’d eventually realize that it’s just easier to call the foul on Anderson Varejáo or something.

• • •

The number 0. In honor of how many rings the Cleveland Cavaliers have.

• • •

The number 75 million B.C. This number honors his former teammate Chris Bosh’s birthday.

• • •

90 degrees. This number acts as a simple reminder of the temperature at which LeBron starts cramping.

• • •

Studies show that kids these days react better to emoticons than anything else. If you really want to push jersey sales, might as well dumb it down for jerseys. Plus, considering numbers aren’t Angry Bird characters, kids these days probably don’t know what they are.

• • •

Less than 3. What better way to prove your desire to play with Kevin Love than to make your new number a heart? Plus, if Kevin Love wears number 3, it would be perfect. It would be like LeBron saying “I am less than 3” and “My number is a heart because I want to play with Kevin Love so bad.” If I was Kevin Love, I’d include this in my list of demands.

5 and 12. This number(s) would be in honor of LeBron’s career record against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.

• • •

Heh… heh… 69.

• • •

The number 13. This number would be honoring the number of his father, Delonte West.

• • •

Then again, if he can’t make up his mind, LeBron could always just wear this.
