<p>How much does LeBron James respect Michael Jordan? The Cleveland Cavaliers whiz who shot into the basketball scene with a sprinting rise to fame had recently gained more heat from the spotlight with more speculation on his career. With the option to go as a free agent this summer, many speculated for the MVP to sign on with the New York Knicks. However, on the other side of things, James recently made some other interesting declarations that will perhaps change the game for all as well.</p>
<p>In a recent ESPN report, the MVP voiced his concerns over the number “23″, viewing it as a legacy of Michael Jackson. LeBron believes that “no NBA player should wear 23″ and is starting a petition for all NBA players to sign. To support his own cause, LeBron will be switching his number from “23″ to “6″ next year.</p>
<p>While his intentions are well-founded, standard procedures may stand in the way of the switch. According to NBA rules, LeBron has until Mar. 5 to send in his request for a number change, provided he sign on with the Cavaliers again. Or, LeBron could sign on with a new team and will be free to pick any number he wishes.</p>
<p>As for the significance of “6″, for those who followed the 2008 Olympics, LeBron wore “6″, and it’s also the number of his second favorite player, Julius Erving. Also, his first child was born on Oct. 6, and second child was born in June.</p>
<p>In terms of support, Jason Richardson of the Phoneix Suns who also sports “23″ at the moment is supportive of LeBron’s cause. Richardson tweeted on Friday, “Getting lots of tweets about changing my number 4 MJ. Im all 4 it he’s the greatest player to ever play. NBA should of retired 23 yrs ago.”</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3573" title="Picture 1" src="http://whysohypebeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Picture-1.png" alt="Picture 1" width="260" height="397" /></p>
<p>Perhaps this is the prelude for the first time in history of NBA to retire a number?  via: <a href="http://espn.go.com/">ESPN</a></p>

The most obvious distinction is a massive transparent window through the middle of the shoe as a representation of Michael Jordan’s on-court prowess of “seeing through opponents”. The shoe’s collar is also cut disproportionately with the medial side being higher up. The Air Jordan 2010 will release on February 13th, 2010.<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" /><strong>JORDAN BRAND LAUNCHES THE AIR JORDAN 2010<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" />Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">BEAVERTON, OR (November 11, 2009) – Today, Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc., announced the upcoming launch of its 25th anniversary AIR JORDAN 2010 shoe. Celebrating a quarter-century of innovative design and genre-inspiring style, Jordan Brand created the AIR JORDAN 2010 to pay respect to the legacy of Michael Jordan in basketball while passing on the heritage of the sport to the talented Team Jordan athletes, such as Dwyane Wade, who will be the first to debut the AIR JORDAN 2010.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">“The celebration of the AIR JORDAN 2010 and our 25th anniversary are the pinnacle of a year full of milestones for me,” said Michael Jordan. “With each shoe, consumers have pushed me to take the next AIR JORDAN beyond their wildest imagination. The AIR JORDAN 2010 marks the future of Jordan Brand and proves there are no limits to what this Brand is capable of creating.”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">Acclaimed shoe designers Tinker Hatfield, Vice President of Special Projects/Design for NIKE and Mark Smith, Creative Director for Jordan Brand, collaborated with Michael Jordan on the AIR JORDAN 2010, taking the literal interpretation of Jordan’s ability to see through his opponents by creating the Brand’s first see-through performance basketball shoe featuring a unique transparent thermoplastic urethane (TPU) window.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">“The AIR JORDAN 2010 pays homage to Jordan’s ability to know his opponents next move while only giving hints of his ability and allowing the players to only see what he wanted them to see on the court,” said Tinker Hatfield. “His keen instinct for anticipating his challengers’ next move and disguising his own techniques are just a few of the attributes that led to him being named the greatest basketball player ever to play the game.”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">To assist all basketball players’ game while wearing the shoe, Hatfield and Smith also designed the AIR JORDAN 2010 with a revolutionary new concept to performance basketball footwear – a layered toe construction that has an independent forefoot support cover. This innovative design technique allows the AIR JORDAN 2010 to mimic an actual foot’s flexibility and movement without being restricted by the shoe’s structures, assisting in a player’s ability to be more agile in the game.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">Since 1984 when Jordan wore the first AIR JORDAN sneaker, AIR JORDAN has become one of the world’s most recognizable franchises known for its signature Jumpman logo, innovative performance technology and fashion-forward style memorializing the sneakers into popular culture history. Jordan Brand has adapted the AIR JORDAN to the changing fashion landscape in its 25 years, utilizing the importance of green technology by making the AIR JORDAN XX3, AIR JORDAN 2009 and now the AIR JORDAN 2010 under Nike’s Considered Design ethos of combining sustainability with performance and innovation.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; width: 619px; color: #595959; padding: 0px;">Jordan Brand launches the AIR JORDAN 2010 nationwide on Saturday, February 13, 2010 for a suggested retail price of $170.

<p>On Tuesday 10/27/09 was a happy day in Los Angeles, it was the start of the 2009-2010 NBA Season, and the LA Lakers received their championship rings as well as hung their 2008-2009 Championship Banner. for those who are interested on Information on the championship ring:</p>
<p>• The Jeweler: The championship ring was made by jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills created the rings from a special batch of 15-karat Laker gold to commemorate their 15th NBA championship. Most rings are 14-karat gold.</p>
<p>• The Jewels: The ring is comprised of 15 diamonds weighing in at 2.85 carats.</p>
<p>• The Design: The ring replicates the shape of the exterior of their home arena, the Staples Center. When viewed from the side, you can see the &#8220;roof&#8221; and &#8220;sides&#8221; of the Lakers&#8217; home court. Also, each player has an image of his face inscribed on the side of his ring, the first time such a feature had been included on NBA championship rings.</p>
<p>• The Box: Each box has two built-in LED spotlights that actually shine on the ring. Oh, the ring is also mounted on a rotating mechanical platform.</p>
