http://0rz.tw/IH7Wq LeBron James files application for No. 6 jersey for the 2010-11 season LBJ向聯盟申請2010-11球季改披６號戰袍 LeBron James fans, get ready to make some room in your closet for No. 6 jerseys. LBJ的粉絲們，將你們的衣櫥留些空間給６號球衣吧。 James told The Plain Dealer on Monday that he's filed the paperwork with the NBA office to switch his jersey number from No. 23 to No. 6 next season. He had to make the decision this week, the deadline to make the request to the NBA is Wednesday. LBJ週一時向《The Plain Dealer》透露，他已向聯盟提出更換背號的申請，下季 將從原本的２３號改為６號。週三就是申請截止日，他得在本週前做好決定。 James first brought up the idea in November, saying he wanted to give up No. 23 out of respect to his hero, Michael Jordan. At that time he said he was "50/50" on switching to No. 6, his Olympic number and the day of the month his first son was born. That now seems to be 100 percent. 首次想換背號的念頭出現在去年十一月，當時LBJ表示希望聯盟將２３號球衣退休 ，以紀念他心目中的英雄──ＭＪ。那時，他說自己有有一半的可能性，將球衣改 成國家隊的號碼，同時也是他第一個兒子的生日，６號。這個可能性，現在似乎是 百分百篤定了。 "I've done it," James said. "I already sent it in. I'm going to be No. 6." 「我心意已決。」LBJ說道，「申請已提出，以後我就是６號了。」 The NBA does not have to fulfill the request, players who don't change teams have to apply to change their number in March before the previous season. However, the wave of new jersey sales the switch promises to trigger would likely be too enticing for the league to turn down. 聯盟當局尚未履行這項申請。在下季之前不會更換隊伍的球員，必須在三月以前提 出更改的申請。不過，新球衣銷售熱潮的開啟很可能成為聯盟同意此申請的絕大誘 因。 In 2006, Kobe Bryant requested his number to be changed from No. 8 to No. 24. The NBA approved the move and Bryant's jerseys quickly shot to No. 1 in sales across the world. James has been in the top three in jersey sales in the U.S., China and Europe in recent years but hasn't enjoyed the top spot for several years. 2006年，Kobe申請將背號由８換成２４。聯盟同意了，而Kobe的球衣則迅速地成為 全球的銷售冠軍。近年來，LBJ的球衣銷售量向來都高居美、中、歐洲三地的前三強 ，但卻從未嘗過榜首的滋味。 Player do not directly benefit from merchandise sales, however. It goes into a league-wide pool that is distributed to teams and then players based on seniority. 然而，球員並不會直接地從商品的販售獲利。總收益將由聯盟依排名統籌分配到各 隊以及各個球員。 Jordan, of course, also pulled such a move. He switched to No. 45 for part of a season when he came out of retirement for the first time with the Chicago Bulls. ＭＪ當然也換過背號。第一次退休與第一次復出的球季，他在公牛改穿４５號。 Other than playing for Team USA, the last time James did not wear No. 23 was during his freshman year of high school when he wore No. 32 because a senior was wearing 23. 除了效力美國隊之外，LBJ高一時也不是穿２３號球衣，而是穿３２號。因為當時 ２３號已被一個學長穿去了。 ---- 所以換號碼究竟意味著什麼呢？ => http://0rz.tw/LO3Ny 至少LBJ應該不可能去尼克吧，T-Mac的簡訊錢還是多花在Wade或Bosh上吧.... --
