No idea on the Brazilian called Koby or what a jerzey is.
As far as the lakers' Kobe and his jersey #...who knows but the #8 before was to honor his hero Mike D'Antoni (#8 on his Italian league team) whom he watched while Kobe grew up in Italy. You realize that's where he basically spent his childhood as his after played in the Italian league after his NBA career was done.
Anyway, change # = sell more jerseys as someone posted. Simple really. That's Kobe. Won't win a championship w/o Shaq.
