Why did Kobe change his jersey number?

Kobe changed his number to 24 because that was the number he began his high school career with. But, back in high school, he changed his number to 33, out of repsect for his father Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, who also wore number 33 while in high school. But, when Kobe reached the NBA, he couldn't wear 33 because it had been retired by Kareem. Kobe chose 8 because it was the number he wore as a kid when he played in Italy, and also his number from Nikes ABCD camp (143) added up to 8, that's why he chose it.
He said his changing numbers was meant to signify the start of the second half of his career, which leads a lot of people to think that Kobes game may be going to change around a bit.

WELL WELL WELL>

another person that asks the same question that is asked twice a day, for the last 3 weeks...

good job of paying attention.

24 is the number of times he shoots before he passes.

and the number of times he cheats on his wife in a month;

To market more jersey's

24 was his hs number and twanda is an idiot the only reason she dont like him is b/c he probly killed her team whoever that is and by the way he was let off for the rape charge u stupid ignorant person

He wore 24 when he balled in highschool. **** anyone who hates Kobe, he is the best (84 points in a match!!!!!)

yeah he wanted to use his father's number

Jordan was 23 idiot.

yea like the guy said.
24 is his high school number

He used to be 8...he changed to 24 b/c that was his number in HS...

Because he wants the attention.

By the way Balla...he only scored 81 points...not 84.

Kobe wore 24 in high school and plus he said 24 stood for 24/7. For him basketball is 24 hours a day 7 days a week. For all the Kobe haters stop hating. Hate when u become a legend.

Didn't see that, but of course don't watch anything with Kobe in or on it. When my favorite team is playing the Lakers, I will not even watch my own team. I think his uniform should read "00"., which means nothing! Is nothing, will never be nothing, but a rude arrogant adultress. What difference does it make, he's a loser. Hey, maybe he should have that put on his uniform,""LOSER"""!! No wonder everyone left the Lakers, he's an embarassment to everyone, and they didn't want to be assosiciated with a rapist!!!!

That is his Total IQ Suprise he is a Retard!

I saw him in a commercial with jersey #24 - that was him, right? Did he change his jersey number? Wasn't he #8 or some single digit number before?

What a joke...

It's about greed.... Kobe had a shoe contract before his rape trial. He was dropped, but the company put into production "Crazy 8s" or "8s" or something like that... He didn't want anyone else to make any money, if he didn't get a piece.

kobe the ball hog....give him the number -1

Jordan wannabe.
