I think that it used to be his high school or college number and he couldn't get it before, and either the number came up or the person who has the number sold it to him. It is actually a fairly common practice in major league sports.

G-R-E-E-D.
More money, as Kobe lovers will now "NEED" a new jersey...
Plus there is a shoe company that was going to produce a shoe called "8s" or something like that. Kobe, didn't want to give them advertising without being paid.
He may have shooting skills... but I have NEVER liked this brat.

Because he couldn't get "69"......they told him that that number was for guards and they have to pass the ball!!!......Kobe is "scum".....don't hold him to high esteem.......he showed that in Colorado when he "raped" that girl and threw Shaq into the grease!!!
