Since ESPN is such a prisoner of the recent, they have a raft of pundits claiming LeBron wants to change to 6 next year to make his own legacy with that number. It's no different than quarterbacks wearing 12. Stauback, Bradshaw, Greise to name just three greats to wear the number.
Do you have to ask me the two greatss to already wear 6. Only the greatest winner in the history of sports. ALL SPORTS!!! NCAA champion, Olympic gold medal and more professional championships than anyone in team sports. Bill Russell.
Although he did not wear the number in the ABA, he did in the NBA. He is always cited as the main reason the NBA merged with the ABA. When people talk about the best basketball players of the 1970's, he's the guy not named Kareem. He's my all time favorite basketball player. Dr. J, Julius Erving.
If LeBron wants to make a legacy with a number, he batter find one not already worn by two members of the all time top 50.
