Because his jersey sales were starting to decline. Everyone already had a KB 8 Jersey, so why buy another, but wait if I change my number, all the little suckers will have to dish out another C-note to show their idol worship of a guy that barely graduated high school.

1. To signify a new beginning. No more fights, infidelity, or ballhogging. He has done pretty well with that.
2. Money. Pretty much anyone who had his 8 jersey, which became obsolete, just had to buy a 24 jersey

If Bryant gets traded, should his ex-fans get a refund at the Lakers team store? Will ticket prices be slashed at Staples Center for season ticket-holders who only renewed their high priced seats because of the star power of Kobe? I think you know the answers to both of those questions. He changed his uniform number to make more money and gain more attention for his bloated ego.

He changed his number from 8 to 24 becuase his dad Jellybean Bryant a former pro basketball player wore number 24.

Because when he was growing up in Italy he idolized Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Atoni who wore the number 24 and was a basketball superstar in Italy back in the day.
