Michael Jordan "cool" with LeBron James jersey choice

Michael Jordan insists that he doesn't "own a number" as LeBron James will return to wearing the number 23 jersey with the Cleveland Cavaliers next season.

NBA legend Michael Jordan has insisted that he has no problem with LeBron James wearing the number 23 jersey in his second spell with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James had previously insisted that the number should be retired as a tribute to the former Chicago Bulls star, but he made the announcement on Instagram last week that he would wear it once again.

"I'm cool with it. I don't own a number," Jordan said, ESPN reports.

James did not contact Jordan before deciding to return to the number as he now looks ahead to returning to Cleveland and delivering a championship after spending four years with the Miami Heat.
