Kobe will wear a different number next season.

Kobe will change his number to 24.

Maybe he is saying he is 1 better than Jordan's 23.

Or Shaq(32) - Kobe(8) = 24.

Or maybe he just wants his highschool number.

or maybe he wants the best # ever?

or maybe wants more money from jersey sales.

 

[AlwaysKeen]

what's the reason for the change...

 

[cutacrossshorty]

I had heard before that the reason he wore #8 was because that was the number worn by his favorite player when he was growing up in Italy, and that the player was Mike D'Antoni.

Hang onto those #8 jerseys. As soon as he falls into a slump, you know he's going back to it.

or maybe wants more money from jersey sales.

This can be the only reason for this. When I first heard this a couple hours ago I was wondering if this was the # his dad wore, not the case so once again its about the money. Maybe wifey is getting bored of that new ring???

Maybe it's the number of teenagers that he's raped?

I'm sure he is just pissed his jersey is not even in the top 10 of sales anymore and this is the only way to boost it up there...EGOMANIAC!!
