Photo via: TSG
As you may have heard LeBron James has been mentioning that he plans to retire his #23 next year in honor of Michael Jordan. LeBron personally feels that Jordan’s number should of been retired due to the fact he believes MJ is the greatest athlete the NBA has ever seen. Since the NBA didn’t retire Jordan’s number, even after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year, LeBron has been saying he’s going to retire his own number 23 and do something the NBA should of done from the get go. If he sticks to his guns LeBron will take the court next year in wearing #6, the number he wore during the 2008 Olympics.
The other day on All-Access MJ gave Ahmad Rashad a call to wish him a happy birthday and during their brief conversation Ahmad asked Jordan what his opinion was about LeBron James saying he is going to retire his number in Michael honor.

SpineTV: Bodega Reebok Pump20
The crew from SpineTV have launched their brand new website and along with the slew of videos comes this video of Jay Gordon, co-founder of Bodega. The short little interview has been put together to talk a bit about the upcoming Bodega x Reebok Pump ‘Outback’ which the shop has designed as part of the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary Collection. Towards the end of the video, Jay informs us that theres a whole concept to go along with the shoes, something that many of us are aware of at this time. We arent quite sure exactly what he means by that but judging by the video, and the way Marvin Burnall (a designer at Bodega) cut his sentence short, we are led to believe this video was filmed before we caught our first previews of the Bodega x Reebok Pump and that Jay and Marvin were just tryin to conseal its colorway in this video and the fact the sneakers come in an metal ammo case.
Whatever the case my be check out the video above.
Jordan ‘Break To Build’ Commercial
Jordan Brand has released a new commercial as part of their Become Legendary series. The latest commercial is titled Break to Build and has sort of caused somewhat of an argument through the YouTube comment section. Towards the end of the commercial, 0:54 to be exact, Dwayne Wade can clearly been seen wearing wearing a warm-up jacket with an adidas three-stripe logo. Its a known fact adidas is the supplier of NBA uniforms but you would think Jordan Brand would of done something to cover up the adidas logo shown in full focus. It has obviously caught the eye of enough people for the comments section to spark a massive list of remarks.
Check out the video for yourself above features Dwayne Wade, Derek Jeter and other Jordan Brand athletes.
