Mavericks Cavaliers Basketball

MIAMI- Last night as the Cavaliers continued their winning streak in impressive fashion, Michael Jordan was in attendance to see two of the leagues top players in LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. After the game in a post game interview on the court James went on to say:

“I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon. There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn’t Michael Jordan first. He can’t get the logo, and if he can’t, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I’m starting a petition, and I’ve got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I’m not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it. If you see 23, you think about Michael Jordan. You see game-winning shots, you think about Michael Jordan; you see guys fly through the air, you think about Michael Jordan; you see fly kicks, you think about Michael Jordan. He did so much, it has to be recognized, and not just by putting him in the Hall of Fame.”

James changing his number would be like two other greats one being Michael Jordan who went from 23 to 45 and then back to 23, and Kobe Bryant who went from 8 to 24.

“My second-favorite player was Julius Erving, and he wore No. 6,” James said. “I wore 32 in high school because Dr. J wore it at first. My first child was born on Oct. 6, it’s my Olympic number, my second child was born in June.”
