The 24th chapter, and what to wear for it
LeBron James announced in late June that he is playing a 24th NBA season. That alone sets a league record. Then he told the Lakers they could move on without him, and the basketball world spent the summer guessing whether he lands back in Cleveland for a third tour or in Golden State next to Steph Curry. As of late August, the ink is not dry, and that is exactly why this hub is worth reading now: the jerseys on this page cover the chapters that are already written, and they are not getting cheaper as the record chase continues.
The numbers from 2025-26 are the kind most players retire with, and he did them at 41 in his 22nd season: 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals in 60 games while shooting 51.5 percent from the field. The Lakers went 53-29, won the Pacific, then got swept by Oklahoma City in the second round. None of that slowed the record book. He is the NBA’s all-time leader in points at 43,440, in games at 1,622, in minutes at 61,030, and the only player ever to reach 40,000 points, 11,500 rebounds, and 11,500 assists. Thirteen All-NBA first teams. Twenty-two All-Star games. Four rings, four Finals MVPs.
What is on the shelf below spans both jerseys he has worn in the NBA: #23 for Cleveland and most of his Lakers run, #6 for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons. Ten swingman editions, from the navy 2008-09 Hardwood Classics throwback to the 2025 All-Star game piece. Everything listed is in stock today, not a backorder. If you want a LeBron shirt, this is the honest, complete view of what we carry.
LeBron James, in a nutshell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who is LeBron James? | The NBA’s all-time leading scorer and arguably its greatest player. Four-time champion, four-time Finals MVP, four-time league MVP, and a record 13 All-NBA first-team selections across 22 seasons. |
| What number does he wear? | #23 for most of his career, including Cleveland and most of his Lakers run. He wore #6 with the Lakers for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons. Both numbers appear in this hub. |
| Is LeBron playing a 24th season? | Yes. He announced in June 2026 that he will play in 2026-27, setting an NBA record for most seasons. He is leaving the Lakers, with Cleveland and Golden State reported as the leading candidates. |
| What are the best LeBron jerseys in stock? | Ten swingman editions from $58.80 to $62.70: the Lakers gold Icon in #23, the 2008-09 Cavaliers Hardwood Classics throwback, Lakers Association, City, Statement, Classic and Earned editions, and two All-Star game jerseys. |
| Where can I see the full lineup? | The Los Angeles Lakers collection holds the purple and gold line; the Cleveland Cavaliers collection carries the throwbacks. |
Why shop a LeBron hub before the 24th season starts
Three reasons, and none of them are pressure tactics. First, the 2026-27 season is a record season no matter what else happens: a 24th campaign has never been played. Jerseys from the eras that built that record, especially the Cleveland years, are exactly the kind of stock that thins out and does not come back. Second, if LeBron signs with Golden State or returns to Cleveland, the Lakers jersey becomes a closing chapter, not an open one. The purple and gold shirts on this page are the record of eight seasons in Los Angeles, and once he is gone, demand for them does not fall. It usually rises. Third, the 2025-26 campaign ended with him at 43,440 career points, and every game next season adds to a total nobody will catch for decades. The NBA 2026-27 Season Hub has the full calendar, and the 20 NBA Stars page is worth a read before you pick a player to follow this year.

#23 vs #6, and the NBA jersey editions, explained
LeBron is one of the few players whose jersey has two active numbers with meaning. Here is what each one represents, and how the swingman editions on this page break down.
The number change is a real part of the story. LeBron wore #23 from 2003 through most of his Lakers run, then switched to #6 for the 2021/22 season and kept it through 2022/23, partly as a nod to his Olympic #6 and partly to let Anthony Davis take #23. He went back to #23 for 2023/24. So the #6 shirts in this hub are a specific two-season window, 2021/22 and 2022/23, which makes them the more collectible of the two by default. The #23 shirts span everything else, which is most of the career.
| Edition | What it is | In this hub |
|---|---|---|
| Icon | The team’s primary colorway, worn mostly at home | The Lakers gold #23, the essential pick |
| Association | The white version of the primary look, mostly road games | The white #23 road jersey |
| City | A limited design tied to the city, one season only | The purple 2021/22 City in #6 |
| Statement | A bolder alternate for marquee matchups | The purple Lakers #23 and the black Cavaliers #23 |
| Classic | A clean reinterpretation of a franchise look | The white 2022/23 Classic #23 |
| Earned | A playoff-only release for qualifying teams | The black 2020/21 Earned #23, from the bubble title year |
| Hardwood Classics | A retro throwback reissue | The navy 2008-09 Cavaliers #23 |
| All-Star Game | The annual All-Star weekend design | The gray 2022 and light blue 2025 versions |
An honest note on what you are buying: these are Nike Swingman jerseys, the fan-grade cut with breathable mesh and the same colorways the team wears, at roughly half the price of Authentic. The differences are in the fabric and the stitching, not the look. For wearing to the arena, to a watch party, or out on a normal day, the swingman is the right call for almost everyone. If you want the full tier breakdown across leagues, the League Jersey Comparison page goes through it, and the jersey authenticity guide covers what to check before you buy anywhere.
Sizing for every cut lives on the Size Guide; the Sizing & Technology Guide explains how fan and match versions fit differently.
Which LeBron jersey should you actually buy?
If you are buying one shirt
The Lakers gold Icon Edition in #23 at $62.70. It is the colorway that defined eight seasons in Los Angeles, it works for both the record chase and everyday wear, and it is the one we sell most. If he signs elsewhere, this becomes the shirt of a closed chapter, which is exactly when people want it.
If you are a collector
The 2008-09 Cavaliers Hardwood Classics throwback at $58.80. It is the oldest piece in the hub and the only one from the first Cleveland era. The black 2020/21 Earned Edition at $62.70 is the other rare one: playoff teams only, and it ties to the bubble title run.
If you want the #6 era
The purple 2021/22 City Edition at $58.80. It is the cleanest #6 jersey in the lineup and the window was only two seasons, so there is less of it around. The gray 2022 All-Star at $58.80 is the other #6 option.
If you are buying for a young fan
The white Association #23 at $62.70 or the 2022/23 Classic white at $58.80. Both are current-looking, neither is a niche throwback, and both photograph well. The All-Star light blue at $58.80 is the one kids pick for themselves.
If you want the Cleveland story
The black Jordan Brand Statement Edition at $58.80. It is the modern-looking Cavaliers piece, and if he actually returns to Cleveland this season it becomes the prequel to a third act. The Hardwood Classics covers the older era if that is your angle.
