Kobe Bryant will
reportedly change his jersey number to 24 next season. He wore #24 for part of high school but changed to #33 to honor his pops, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant. He now wears #8 because that's the number he wore when he was a kid in Italy. He reportedly liked #8 because his favorite player in the Italian league wore it, Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni.
Kobe is all about leaving a legacy. I bet he wants to have number 8 retired and won't change his jersey number.
