LeBron James: Meeting Michael Jordan Was Like Meeting God

James wore the number 6 for four seasons while playing with the Miami Heat before returning back to the Cavaliers and wearing his old number.

So, it seemingly fit in Game 5, when No. 23 broke the original No. 23’s all-time playoff scoring record. Although, James admitted after the game that his quest to be like Jordan growing up went far past his jersey number.

“I did pretty much everything that MJ did when I was a kid,” James said.

“I shot fadeaways before I should have. I wore a leg sleeve on my leg and folded it down so you saw the red part. I wore black-and-red shoes with white socks. I wore short shorts so you could see my undershorts underneath. I didn’t go bald like Mike, but I’m getting there.

It’ll be post-career, though. That’s the only thing I didn’t do.
