8? 24? or retire both numbers and put 2 Kobe jerseys up?

Kobe entered the league as #8. He became famous wearing #8. He scored 81 points as #8. He won his first title as #8. He won 3 titles wearing #8.

However, Kobe won his MVP and Finals MVPs as #24. He won 5 titles as #24. He broke Kareem's NBA scoring record as #24.

retire #8 piggy-backing shaq's #34 jersey and retire #24 separately.. problem solved..

Both, because Kobe da best.

Love your sig.

He has that "I'm going to score 31 pts on your ass in the final quarter" look.

Why'd he switch to 24? To match Willie Mays? It's a very popular number in baseball, worn by multiple great players in honor of Mays and retired by several teams (A's being one of them, for Rickey Henderson).

Great job by your As. That was a very impressive run to finish the season.
