WASHINGTON (AP) -- Goodbye, "Agent Zero." Gilbert Arenas is switching his uniform number.
The suspended guard submitted paperwork to go from No. 0 to No. 6, and the NBA approved the change, league spokesman Tim Frank confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday.
Arenas has worn zero since college, saying he picked that number because that's how many minutes people expected him to play at Arizona.
Last Friday was the deadline for NBA players to file paperwork seeking a new number. Cavaliers star LeBron James asked to switch from No. 23 to No. 6 next season.
Arenas was given a season-ending suspension by the NBA for bringing guns to the locker room. He pleaded guilty to a felony gun possession charge in January.
So LeBron and Arenas are both changing their numbers to six. It seems like a different number, that you don't see much. Arenas is changing his number to forget the bad times he had suh as gun felonies. LeBron with a number change to seperate himself from MJ as much as possible and to make a name for himself.
What are your guys thoughts on the number changes?
