Kobe Bryant changes his number to 24 at the begging of this season, but was number 8 ever since he entered the NBA.

Well I'm glad you noticed with half of the season gone by. Yes Kobe was number 8 last year and his previous seasons in the NBA. He began wearing 24 this year. I believe he said he wanted to start a new chapter in his career, in addition I want to say it was also his high school number.

yes, kobe wore #8 since his rookie year. he switched to 24 in the start of this season. kobe also wore #24 in high school. # 8 or #24, he's still awesome!

Kobe changed his number at the beginning of the season to shake off old things - to start anew.
Looks like its working pretty well for him....

He switched to #24 earlier this season, and he did wear #8.

Kobe switched to help sell more jerseys. He refuses to sign his old #8 jerseys. If you want him to autograph a jersey it has to be his new #.
