LeBron James is Reportedly Giving Anthony Davis No. 23 Jersey
By Max Scoli
The Los Angeles Lakers have a new All-Star in town in Anthony Davis, and he will be wearing a number that LA fans have gotten used to seeing at the Staples Center.
According to reports, LeBron James has decided to gift AD with his famous No. 23 jersey, the one the latter wore in New Orleans. So far, LBJ has not clarified which numbers would be on his own back next season and beyond.
Davis has worn No. 23 every day since he was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans with the first overall pick back in 2012, so having the King's gracious permission to wear it is a nice gesture on James' part.
The only other number that LeBron has worn in his NBA career is No. 6, the one he donned upon signing with the Heat in 2010. After his departure from Miami, James went back to No. 23 when he returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, wanting to pick up in the era that he put on pause in the Land.
It is unclear if the No. 6 is in consideration for James next season, or if he will choose something new altogether. As with much that LeBron does, you've got to think that just about anything is possible.
