Lakers wanna retire #8 and #24
Do you think two numbers should be retired for one player?
Which Kobe was better/more accomplished?

why did he change his number?
Gavin Long
"Bryant wore No. 24 in high school before switching to 33. When he was drafted by the Hornets and traded to the Lakers in 1996, 33 was retired in honor of KareemAbdul-Jabbar and 24 was taken by George McCloud so he decided on No. 8. Bryant changed his number to 24 for the 2006–07 season."

Retiring jersey numbers is peak retardation. Get a ring of honor or something you bums
Jace Rodriguez
>retiring the ultimate chucker's number
im gonna kek when fisher and pau's aren't retired. the guys that actually contributed to winning
Oliver Phillips
You didn't answer his question. Why did he decide to switch after playing so long as #8?
Cooper Morris
The rape.
Nathan Campbell
Rape, trying to distance himself from Shaq, nostalgia from high school, etc.

Kobe did enough for the Lakers to actually deserve 2 numbers. 19 years and 5 championships. Arguably their greatest player.
Ian King
He might not even be top 5 you onion
Luis Johnson
Shut the fuck up
He scored 81 (eighty one) points on the hardest team in the league, the Toronto, Ontario Raptors. Did Michael do this? Lebron? No? So shut the fuck up!!!
Tyler Jackson
Not even a top 5 laker
1. Magic
2. Kareem
3. Shaq
4. Wilt
5. West
Gabriel Adams
>leafs
Jayden Wilson
wilt was fucking shit on the lakers and west went 1-7 in the finals and couldnt even beat the lakers
Aiden Garcia
The fact he's their longest tenured player means a lot to what you are worth to the franchise
Connor Robinson
Laker top 4 is inarguable:
>magic
>shaw
>kareem
>wilt
5th spot is up for debate. Some people put kobr there, others put mikan, west, robertson maybe.
Thomas Garcia
Not even a top 10 player
Anthony Foster
>1. Magic
>2. Kareem
Arguable, but makes for interesting conversation. I'd take Kobe over Magic if it really mattered. Kareem was already a great before he came to LA.
>3. Shaq
His peak was absolutely monstrous and Kobe uusally managed to keep up until the Finals. Unfortunately, he was a lazy fat ass, cost us a chip, and left while he still gas in the tank. Picking Kobe over Shaq ultimately ended up the right choice.
>4. Wilt
Over the hill Wilt. Nope.
>5. West
Arguable. Certainly a better shooter than Kobe.
I'd rank Kobe around the fourth spot, if we are going by Laker careers only.
Logan Richardson
>Shaw
you're an idiot
Jace Ross
type of fucking number is microphone
Lucas Gutierrez
We weren't arguing who was better in the Laker's shirt, we're arguing who are the best players to ever wear the Laker's shirt. That "over the hill" Wilt averaged 20 points, 21 rebounds and 4.5 assists on 58% shooting his first season there
Joshua Cox
Also 3.2 hoes per game. Man was on fire
Owen Williams
>no ammo
Shit list
Landon Hughes
LEL
How bout this one?
Nathaniel Johnson
>not knowing based Chick Hearn
>franchise is so great our sportcasters are legendary
I thought summer was over

>Picking Kobe over Shaq ultimately ended up the right choice.
Kobe was actually shitty in the last of two Championship teams he was a part of. That said, Shaq basically had one more good season before his body fell apart, so you're probably right.
Connor Myers
I feel like Kobe damaged his legacy more in his final years than Jordan did in his Wizard years for some reason.
Isaiah Long
Kobr played after a career ending achilles injury and cyborg knee. Most players would have just retired with either of those issues.
Parker Parker
Wasn't West's fault. He also is the goddamn logo
Julian Rivera
Not surprising since he came out of high school
Landon Garcia
lmao , Lonzo is better than Carmelo Anthony
Charles Nguyen
He answered it. He liked 24 more, but it was used at that time
Elijah Sullivan
What is it with GOATS and the number 12? It can't be a coincedence
Matthew Sanders
Wilt has like 3 retired jerseys doesnt he? Kareem has two as well.
Jonathan Anderson
Kobr is over >Shaw
Ryder Mitchell
It is
>Kobr
>Magic
>Kareem
>West
Quit being dum dum
Jose Morris
Shaq has 3 rings. Kobe has 2 non Shaq rings
Jaxon Reed
Shaq has 4 and any top 5 SG could've won Kobe's first 3 rings with Shaq
Julian Parker
He used to wear the 8 because it was Mike D'Antoni's number. Changed it after Suns kicked his ass out of the playoffs.
Elijah James
i'll never forgive KD for breaking russell westbrooks heart >:(
