LeBron Planning To Change His Jersey Number

Pretty much this.

James has filed paperwork with the NBA to change his uniform number next season to No. 6 from No. 23, the league confirmed Tuesday. James said earlier this season he would be willing to give up No. 23 in an effort to have the NBA retire it in honor of Michael Jordan.

Paperwork had to be filed this week to request a number change for next season.

“All it does is back up LeBron’s beliefs,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “He’s a loyalty guy. When he believes in something, he sticks to his guns and he believes wholeheartedly in what he’s doing.”

Now we’ll have to wait and see what Martell Webster, C.J. Watson, Wes Matthews, J-Rich, Lou Williams, B.J. Mullens, Stephen Graham, and Toney Douglas will be doing with their #23’s. Whether these players follow suit will say a lot about how much pull Lebanon has with other players in The League.

eLZhi – The Leftovers Unmixedtape

One of my favorite lyricists, eLZhi, just released a compilation of unreleased joints and re-mixes (or un-mixes) of joints on The Preface and elsewhere. You can download for free on his bandcamp page, or you can actually buy a physical copy for $5 here. From the site:

The Leftovers UnMixedtape is exactly what it sounds like: A compilation of one of the game’s most talented Emcee’s unreleased and featured works. Whether it’s a promo joint from a few months back (eLZhi and Black Milk – Deep), a feature from another artist’s project (Danny Brown – Contra feat. eLZhi), or just a rare gem from years past (eLZhi and DJ Dez – Living), these Leftovers would have passed for a fresh cooked meal if you didn’t know better. It’s raw, uncut, unmastered, fresh from the studio and ready for your ears. No DJs, just eLZhi and his comrades, your speakers and you. Without the Leftovers UnMixedtape, most of these songs would never have seen the light of day, so consider this a gift, and come get your grub on!
