Which Kobe Jersey should be retired?

[Doobie Doo]

It's neck and neck brehs.

 

[Malta]

They're going to retire both

 

[Doobie Doo]

I don't doubt that but if it was one which one is it?

 

[Dwight Howard]

They're retiring both

 

[KOBE]

I'd go with 24 if they're not retiring both. He was ruthless as #8, but 24 represented his time when he grew as a leader and won his championships as the lead guy. They were both fun as hell to watch, but 24 represents Kobe better I feel as he just got smarter and better at breaking down opponents without having to rely on athleticism or having Shaq around to free up looks for him.

One jersey with 8/24. The dualities

 

[Swaggatron]

Both...but if they pick only one is has to be 24...KB24 was the best player in the league for a while...KB8 was known for being Robin to Shaqs Batman

 

[MartyMcFly]

They better pick both three chips in 8, 2 in 24. I''d argue 24 is when he became a better evolved player and more complete player, especially 06-10, but there were moments during that 3 peat where he carried that team and they get forgotten

 

[Reggie]

Both of them. 8 on the front 24 on the back.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

8 24 and 10 should all be retired

 

[Doobie Doo]

8 24 and 10 should all be retired

Explain?

 

[MikelArteta]

Can retire 24 and just not issue 8 again

But should retire both, Kobe is the only player in nba history with 20 years with just one team

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Explain?

The league should retire all 3 numbers

 

[KOBE]

Another idea is retire one number while putting the other number on the statue outside. Gives good representation to both.
