LeBron James Officially Asks to Switch Jersey Numbers From No. 23 to No. 6

James has worn No. 23 his entire NBA career but has previously sported No. 6 during international play with Team USA.

James made waves in November when he discussed his intentions to switch numbers in front of...

LeBron to the Lakers: The Most Ridiculous Rumor of Them All

The NBA's summer of 2010 has been easy money for sportswriters, and has been for quite some time now. With LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and a whole host of others being available on the free agent market at the end of this season, writing about rumors and possible combinations of which players may end up where has been the simplest way to both fill space and increase page views, all by doing nothing more than speculating on the future.

LeBron James Has Reason to 'Strut' During All-Star Weekend

DALLAS -- That guy with an extra bounce in his step walking around Big D during All-Star Weekend is LBJ.

LeBron's New One-Man Team

Here's some subtext from my earlier Kevin Durant post: If Sam Presti worked for the Cavaliers, maybe LeBron James's actions would be easier to predict this summer.

Remember, LeBron's mini-max deal was as much about putting pressure on the front office as trying to sneak in another contract under the current CBA.

LeBron again Cleveland's best athlete

CLEVELAND — LeBron James regained his crown.

After losing to former Indians pitchers the past two years, James was again chosen the city's top professional athlete on Wednesday night at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards, an event the superstar has skipped since his senior year in high school.

The NBA's reigning MVP, James won the award for the fourth time, beating out Cavaliers teammate Mo Williams and Browns tackle Joe Thomas. Last year, James lost to AL Cy Young winner...

You Need to Invent New Stats to Explain LeBron James

LeBron James has been positively cosmic this season, even more incredible than in his MVP 2008-09 season. So good has been LeBron that broadcasters have had to invent new statistics to capture exactly what it is the Cavalier does. Such as the "chase-down block," coined a year ago and in full usage these days.

Last season, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Brian Windhorst reported that the Cavs had begun tracking chase-downs, primarily because LeBron had made it a signature play of sorts. (Consider...
