NBA Twitter Makes Fun Of LeBron Fans Who Bought #23 Jersey
As a welcoming gift for Anthony Davis, LeBron James is giving up his #23 jersey he had been wearing for most of his career. Davis also has been wearing the #23 jersey ever since coming to the NBA.
James will switch back to #6, the number he wore during his time with the Miami Heat.
Because many LeBron fans now have outdated LeBron jerseys, and will have to spend more money, NBA Twitter went to work and had some fun.
in the future a Lakers 23 James jersey will prove you're a ride-or-die fan who followed the Lakers from the very moment they signed one of the greatest players of all time and didn't just bandwagon when they added Anthony Davis and a third all-NBA player https://t.co/VhZvyvCnDz

Lebron changing his number is a total jerk move to fans who bought his jersey last season.
Even if offered an exchange by the Lakers or another company whp wants to go through the hastle of actually sending their old jersey back?

Let’s be real for a minute the reason Lebron is changing his number is so he can make a profit for all the Lebron Stans and Laker fans to buy his new Jersey. He’s actually a marketing genius
