• Vote: Should any player in the NBA be allowed to wear No. 23?

Even LeBron James looks up to somebody. With Michael Jordan courtside Thursday night in Miami, James and Dwyane Wade put on a show, scoring 34 and 36 respectively.

Then the world's biggest potential free agent tipped his hat to the all-time great No. 23, saying after the game that he plans to switch his own jersey from No. 23 to No. 6 next season.

"He can't get the logo, and if he can't, something has to be done," James said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it."

Michelle Beadle and Colin Cowherd are prepared to pitch on three days' rest for "SportsNation" TV.
