Kobe changed his jersey to start the second half of his career sort of like a fresh start. All the drama of Shaq, the Colorado case, etc will end with the number 8. He chose the number 24 to show his hard work ethic which is 24 hours a day. Saying that he works 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Kobe and Odom is 24/7. It also helps if changing your number will also increase your jersey sales

i don't care what number he wears, as long as he's the same player. although, he doesn't look that bad as #24:http://media.sports.ign.com/articles/726...
he wore #24 in high school as a freshmen/sophmore and #33 when he was a junior/senior! he also said he's changing his number because he multiplied his titles by his "old" #8: 8 x 3 = 24. And also because he said he works on his game 24/7. And he also said because this is a new era of Lakers basketball, and he's gonna lead us to the promise land! Go Lakers!!
you'll get used to #24 as the season goes by

i guess he wants to change it up; it seems kind of stupid to me; he probly gets a cut from jersey sales, so maybe he wants more money
