When mamba get his jersey retired, it will be #24 right?

[calibeebee]

pretty much a yes or no question. I say yes, my special needs co-worker, lame excuse for a lakers fan, with a brain the size of a walnut, says 8. And to keep some sort of discussion going, who's retired jersey will look cooler? kobes or lebrons?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I'm kidding about the kobe vs bron pump the brakes

 

[dman14]

he will have BOTH numbers retired

 

[Baby Face Nelson]

The Lakers will retire 8,24, his Lower Merion and Team USA jerseys in the rafters.

 

[vrai1]

i can't see the Lakers retiring both, but they really should.

 

[mr jordan04]

24
Colorado Kobe won't be acknowledged

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

They will retire #8 and nobody will be allowed to wear #24 but it won't be retired

The greatest Laker to wear the number 24

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Jim Jackson?

 

[vrai1]

jim jackson...forgot he even ever wore a Laker uniform. 24 at that :x

 

[AZwildcats]

From the number of times he has screwed the Suns (will never forget that buzzer beater a couple years ago in the playoffs), he should have his jersey retired in Phoenix too 

He should have #24 retired

 

[prokid404]

8 on the statue.
24 in the rafters

 

[antidope]

The jersey will have 824 on it.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I need that purple 8 MN jersey. Both should be retired.

 

[Hahahaha]

The best Kobe was #8, with the afro and adidas shoes. That's how I'll always remember Kobe

 

[CJ616]

Should be #8 off the strength of the 3-peat and 81 point game, alone.

 

[fresh out dabox]

he will have BOTH numbers retired

 

[la kb24]

#23

 

[seymore cake]

I still feel some type of way about him switching his number... I mean I understand why he did it but damn

That 8 was COLD.

The Lakers will retire 8,24, his Lower Merion and Team USA jerseys in the rafters.

Word.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Both.

Would be OD for a team to retire 2 jerseys. And the Lakers are gonna wanna go OD for Kobe.

 

[AIR J XIII]

I think it should be both, but it will likely be 24, and the 8 unoficially by not allowing anyone to wear it (which no one has anyway)

 

[nychiphophippo]

Lol u know how pissed dudes like Kareem and Magic will be if Kobe's jersey is up there twice? No matter what the reason is.

It's going to be 24.

And I think Kobe would rather be remembered more for being the leader and MVP of two title teams rather than a sidekick for three.

 

[finallyfamous]

Both.

 

[airjordan jb23]

i can see both getting retired... he's got so many accolades with both #'s, its tough to leave one out.

when kobe rocked that #8 & had the mini fro though... his game was so filthy

 

[memphisboi55]

I miss #8
