8 or 24? Which number will the Lakers retire when Kobe is done playing?

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.

I think it makes the most sense to retire both. Might as well retire them both no one has worn 8 since Kobe changed it.

Both, hit would be weird seeing someone else wearing either number.

Question is, what number will they put on his statue?

24.

To remind people that he wasn't as great as the man that wore the number before it.

retiring Kobe as soon as possible will be the best for lakers. they will at least have a slight chance of winning another ring. Kobe is done. he's more trouble than he's worth now.

Probably #24... He will be mostly remembered in the last half of his career winning titles with #24.
