James has alternated between No. 23 and No. 6 after wearing 23 when he entered the NBA in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He was in No. 6 while becoming the NBA's career scoring leader last season, a number now retired by the league following the death of Boston Celtics Hall of Famer Bill Russell.
Rich Paul, James' agent, told ESPN that James decided to make the switch out of respect for Russell.
James said Wednesday during thebroadcast of the ESPY Awards that he would continue playing next season.
