Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James asked fans on Twitter for help deciding which jersey number he should wear next season: 6 or 23?
James tweeted the question, along with a photoshopped Instagram picture, on Friday.

ESPN reported sources as saying James is also considering No. 32, the number which he wore his freshman year of high school when No. 23 wasn't available.
The four-time MVP wore No. 23 for his first seven seasons with the Cavaliers before switching to No. 6 for his four seasons with Miami. James switched to No. 6, the number he wore in the Olympics, in 2010 out of respect for the accomplishments of Michael Jordan, who made "23" famous.
"I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized in some way -- soon," James said in March 2010, via ESPN. "If you see 23, you think about Michael Jordan. You see guys flying through the air, you think about Michael Jordan. You see game-winning shots, you think about Michael Jordan. You see fly kicks, you think about Michael Jordan. He did so much, it has to be recognized, and not just by putting him in the Hall of Fame."
It's uncertain as to when James plans to decide his jersey number.
