Kobe gonna change # to 24?

[Prime]

ESPN - After 10 seasons of wearing the #8 Lakers' jersey, it is being reported by Darren Rovell of ESPN that the Lakers have informed the league that Kobe Bryant will wear the number 24 next year. 24 was the number worn by Bryant for part of his high school career, until he changed it to 33 to honor his father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant.

Doubt his fan base will drop any with the number change especially after this season but to go out a change a number especially when your that popular of a player...that would be like jordan suddenly changing his 23 to 74 :shakeno: :shakeno: :shakeno:

yeah but who is gonna want a #8 Jersey when that isnt his # anymore?


His fan base wont drop, but the sales on #8 will....and it will also boost his jersey sales because now everyone will be getting a #24
