Covercorner Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I heard someone talk about him saying its for 24 hours in a day so he can take thingns "...one day at a time." I think its cause 24 is one more than 23. (Jordan, LeBron) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its cause 24 is one more than 23. (Jordan, LeBron) My friends and I were talking about this last night. We settled on the fact that he wanted to one up Jordan as well.

bellalumni40 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It was his number in high school before he switched to his father's number of 33, which is obviously not available in L.A. b/c of Kareem. Here's a link from April. IMO, some of it has to do with money as well. Alot of these people with the 8 will go buy the 24 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmAFan Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 So the people with number 8 jerseys will buy another jersey. It's marketing at it's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I think 24 is also the statute of limitations in terms of months that someone has to file a rape complaint in Colorado. Or maybe Kobe has a man-crush on Keifer Sutherland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It is simply because that was his high school number as bellalum said. Number 8 was from an ABC camp before he came to the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshs81 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 So the people with number 8 jerseys will buy another jersey. It's marketing at it's best. Exactly. Why do you think teams make changes to their unis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It makes me sad cause I don't want to share the same number with him...but looks like I have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBMJfan34 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Kobe also said this is the begining of his second half of his career. He wants to break the records he set with number 8. And i think he will! he's only 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
