LeBron James is wearing No. 6 in practice as he did during the Cleveland Cavaliers' annual Wine & Gold Scrimmage on Monday.

James wore No. 6 during his four seasons with the Miami Heat and in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

"It's just a number of mine," James said after the scrimmage. "One of my two numbers -- 6, 23. There's nothing to it. It's my practice jersey."

James compared the jersey flip-flop to how former football star Deion Sanders would practice while wearing No. 2 -- the same number he wore in college at Florida State University -- but play games while wearing a different number.

"When he went to the pros he wore 2 in practice but wore 21 on the playing field," James said of Sanders. "It's like that."
