@JetDeezySODMG they might have never gotten cp3 if kobe stayed, the hornets sucked when they got chris paul, with kobe they might not have been in the lottery to get him
you guys also cant say 24>23 because that must mean paul george is better then michael jordan? i dont think so and also by saying 24>23 your also stating any player wearing 25,26 etc are better then kobe and jordan and lebron so shhhhhh lol
there is some stupid video on here that says the reason kobe wears 24 is because (24- 2+4=6 and the same for lebron changing to 6) 6 is apparently the sign of the "devil" and they are part of a group called the illumunati and they get money for being in it but in order to be in it they have to sacrifice their souls to the devil its retarded
yeah... i agree both 8 and 24 should be retired.... kobe got the 3-peat and 81 points using the number 8 jersey and he's winning back-to-backchampionships and climbing up the all-time scoring leaders ladder using number 24...
If Kobe was on any other team than the Lakers his whole career. He would have been underrated. Especially on the hornets. he wouldn't get the recognition he deserves. Then again, his statistics would definitely be higher, but his success (rings) probably would have been lower.
i always wondered how things would have turned out if jerry west hadn't been so insistent on trading for kobe on draft night. kobe would have gone to the hornets LOL that would have been very interesting not gonna lie
kobe had 24 every since he started playin ball in his last year at his highschool he switch to 33 cus that was his dads number (jelly bean bryant) then he wanted 33 in nba but that was retired so he picked 8 now he switched back to 24
No. kobe picked 24 because its a very signicant number in his life and in basketball. it said on some commercial endorsed by kobe that he chose 24 because theres 24 seconds on the shot clock, and 24 hours in a day. This means like take advantage of each possession and each day. I think there was something else but I forgot.
@aaali1234 What I heard was is that he wanted 24 as a rookie but I think George McCloud had it. So he combined his number from the Adidas ABCD camp which was 143 and he got 8. Then after his first 10 years in the NBA, he changed his number to represent his second half of his career. :)
@aaali1234 NO KOBE PICKED 24 BECUASE HE THINKS HE'S THE NEXT JORDAN AND 24 IS NEXT TO 23. KOBE PICKED 10 IN THE OLYMPICS BECAUSE JORDAN WORE NUMBER 9 JERSEY IN THE OLYMPICS 10 IS NEXT TO 9. SO KOBE IS NEXT TO MICHAEL. 23 24; 9 10; MJ KOBE!
@aaali1234 oh yeah the part where he's full of shit and he thinks he's better than mj, made his olympic jersey number 10 which is one above jordans 9. sticks his little bitch tongue out every play and is no where near jordan fake ass bitch.
I think he picked that jersey just because its 1 over jordan's kobe has never even touched jordan in the record books MJ had the assist award, most points in a season for couple years and most steals for defensive player of the year.
some people are just so stupid. he isn't better than Jordan. nobody is, you just think that because your laker fans. saying he is better even though he has less championships, less scoring career avg, less assist avg, and less rebound avg. is retarded.
Kobe takes my tougher shots than jordan ever took, and also Kobe has more Double Double's. and more Triple Doubles, than jordan had. Also, why dont you compare 4th quarter stats and see who is a better closer, also why dont you compare playoff stats, or championship game stats, also kobe will pass jordans 6 championship rings. dont hate because you can only dream to have kobe on your team, and your season next year is gonna suck, and thanks for artest. you can have 1 year wonder ariza.
i think the number 24 has historical significance to his game since he is truly a clutch player, 24 sec, last possession, ball in KB's hands, last sec, shoot, in.
Well, like the new jersey, this jersey made a great history. Now, the number 24 is making its own history, and I think will be greatest of all time. Thanks bro, and care so much. I still believe in Kobe and Lakers. And in the Stapless Center, we can change everything. Go Lakers!!!!!!!
i kinda wish he still hade 8. man mushua what the fuck are we gunna do man were like minutes away from being down 2-0. i cant see the lakers get this far and blow it again.
