Athletes are a superstitious type.
From the way they put their equipment on, to what they eat before games, to the playlist that they listen to on the way to the venue, the littlest thing being out of order can really throw athletes out of their groove.
Just ask Scheifele and Seguin.
Routine is important.
What number an athlete dons on his or her jersey is a big part of superstition and their identity during a game, which is why what LeBron James just did for his new teammate Anthony Davis is so beyond cool.
While the acquisition of Davis was obviously fantastic for the Lakers, fans were quick to speculate what the jersey situation would be, as both stars wear jersey number 23.
LeBron again proved what a good guy he is, when today, it came to light that he’d be giving the number to his new teammate.
If you’ve ever had a sentimental attachment to a number, you know how huge this is, but honestly, when you’re as good as LeBron, do you even have to be superstitious?
