If he wins it all this year, I think he will.

That's what I left out of my post. I was thinking his number would be retired, but which one? Both? If one were to pick, I would pick 8.

8 has 3 rings..
24 has 0 rings (could have one soon though)..

8 would be the obvious choice in my opinion. They'll retire both though I think.

agreed...number 8 was piffffery

come back frobe....receding hairline and all

 

[kookcle]

8 will be retired
24 can only be worn with his permission

 

[pharelfor3]

wow, interesting post. If I was Kobe, I think i'll go in with 24....


Still got my two Lakers jerseys with #8 on it. Love them a lot more.

8 with the 3 rings
24 with the MVP so far, possibly another ring.. hopefully

they should retire both

Why did he change from #8 to #24 in the first place?

[mateen cleaves]

[dunkaroos]

Does any player in any sport have 2 numbers retired?


Why'd he change to 24 anyway?

Apparently 24 was his first HS jersey number.

He got 8 from adding up the numbers from his ABCD camp number (143)

If it was up to Kobe, he'd definitely pick #24. It'll be interesting though.

 

[vanexellent]

#8 is unavailable for any Laker to use. One of their newer players (not sure which) wasnt able to get it. They also are keeping #34 unavailable..

 

[mercutio]

I'm thinking they'll retire both. And when it hangs up in the rafters, it'll be one jersey with "8/24" on it.

yup, the abcd camp info was listed on one of his rookie cards that i own

it makes sense to retire #8
but i think if the lakers win it all this year #24 gets the nod as well
