LeBron James cherishes the number six, which he wore with Team USA in Beijing and still does during practices with the Cavaliers.

"It's interesting to think about. I feel like 6 is my number, too," James told the Cleveland Plain Dealer about the prospect of switching.

"If the NBA retired 23 because of Michael [Jordan] like baseball did with Jackie Robinson [42], I would definitely switch it. Maybe I would someday, we'll see," he said.

James wear No. 23 because of Jordan, his childhood hero.
