"Why I wear number six, there’s multiple reasons," James said back in May. "One, because 23 is one of my favorite numbers as well so two times three is six… Also, my first son [Bronny] was born on October 6. … My youngest son [Bryce] is June 14th, the sixth month of the year. Six has always been with me ever since I was a kid for some reason especially when it relates with my family."

After debuting the No. 23 in 2003, LeBron later transitioned to the No. 6 in 2010, later going on to win three of his four NBA championships sporting the number.
