Dingo18287 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Kobe is going to have his jersey retired on December 18, 2017. He was great and won Championships with both numbers, so which one should be retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Retire them both. #8 was the more entertaining version of Kobe, but he probably would prefer #24 since he won two rings without Shaq with that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'd be shocked if Kobe picked #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Should just be 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like both will be retired.....As it should be. He legitimately had two HOF careers with both jersey numbers. My favorite version of Kobe was during the 02-03 season when Shaq started on the sidelines. Legit monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Both #8 and #24 should definitely be retired by the Lakers. My favorite Kobe was probably during the 2009 season; the same year he won his first title without Shaq. During those playoffs Kobe played great and was so unselfish. He was a willing passer and adapted to becoming more of a team player because he wanted to win so badly and after being on really bad teams, he was extremely hungry.

coors Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Does anyone else have a guy with 2 numbers retired? Both would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other star player I can think of that had two jersey numbers with the same team is Jason Kidd with the Mavericks (5 and 2), but that was only because he had two different stints with the team and 5 was taken when he came back. I can't think of anybody else who just decided to change his number in the middle of his career. I'd say he deserves to have both of them retired because he was elite with both numbers.
