Why is James wearing number 23?

James wears size 23 because of Michael Jordan.

Wearing the No.23 jersey is an invisible pressure for any player who enters the NBA, just because of the former "God of Basketball"-the No.23 of the Bulls.

This is especially true for James, who was named "Little Emperor" without playing a formal NBA game. This treatment is unique among NBA rookies. After he put on the Cavaliers' No.23 jersey, the outside world hoped that this "little emperor" could copy the legend of Bull No.23.

In the first seven years of his jazz career, James really enjoyed a position similar to "God" in the team. He has unlimited right to fire, and the team's tactical system and style of play also revolve around him. However, under the high-profile personal data, James can't achieve what he wants most.

Extended data:

On July 29th, 20 14, Beijing time, ESPN interviewed Michael Jordan after James decided to put on the No.23 jersey again. Jordan said he didn't mind, and the 23rd didn't just belong to him.

The reporter asked Jordan's opinion on this matter through SMS, and Jordan said that he didn't mind James' 23 rd. "I don't mind," Jordan replied in a text message. "I have no number."

In Jordan's legendary career, he wore the No.23 jersey most of the time, and No.23 was also given special significance by the outside world and became a part of the legend. In the first seven seasons of the Cavaliers, James wore the No.23 jersey.

"I think Jordan has had a profound influence on this sport and made more people know about it," James said at the time. "Without him, there would be no LeBron, no Kobe, no Wade."
