23 again!

LeBron James has decided to change his number for the 2014-15 NBA season.  LeBron appears to be going through another transition period in his life. The Miami Heat experience was like going to college through LeBron ' s eyes.

Championship rings are not the only entity that motivates LeBron these days.  He returned to his home state to help improve the quality of life in Ohio.  Apparently his mentality towards the number 23 has also changed.

At one point LeBron claimed the number 23 shouldn't be worn by any player in the NBA.  Now that he's decided to go home, he's flip flopped on that decision.  This is not the first time LeBron has changed his mind, and it probably won't be the last.

LeBron returning to Cleveland is the biggest news in the NBA since Michael Jordan's return from baseball.  Michael was returning to continue the Bulls glory days.  After all, the Bulls had yet to lose in the NBA Finals with him on the roster.  LeBron is going home with a new mission.  He gives the impression he wants the people in Cleveland to know he's a different man.

Allen Iverson ' s career was full of turmoil, but you had to respect the fact that he did it his own way.  He built his brand based off of his own character.  The problem with Allen was he never grew up.

Both Kobe Bryant and LeBron seem to always find a way to associate themselves with Michael Jordan. Kobe famously switched his number 8 jersey to 24 a few years back.  Kobe claims the switch was made because he wore 24 when he was younger. Pretty ironic he changed his number around the time he scored 81 points on the Toronto Raptors. From the outside it looks as if Kobe was attempting to one up Michael.

I will always remember Kobe as number 8.  Number 6 was originally Bill Russell ' s number. LeBron's best bet is to find a new number to represent a new chapter in his life.  Things didn't end well for LeBron in Cleveland part one.  New chapter, new number!
