Should Kobe change his number? I like #8, and I think he should keep it, what about you guys?

Well, if he decides to change it, he should change it into an original number like 42.

^^ That was Big Game James Worthy's #. He should stay #8, cause he's infinitely better than the rest! ^^

Ya, I know that Worthy's number but apperantly, Kobe likes that number too.

I mean, I want him to stay #8 but 42 wouldn't be so bad..

Oh, I didn't know K liked 42...

I agree, 42 wouldn't be so bad.

he should not change and definitley not to 23..he would get killed for that one

as for the reasons why..i find it very hard to believe nike would be for this???? why would they want increase reebok sales..they make jerseys for all teams not nike!!!! if nike wants to increase kob sales for jerseys just release this lowerr merion jersey in three colors...white, maroon, and alt black like mj, bron, and melo have in stores....no problem..he should keep 8 though!!!!

That Lakers will not unretire Worthy so that Kobe can wear 42.

He's not changing his number. He's built a legacy with #8 that he will continue to build on.

Anything in double digits

1-10

But 8 is a very special number because it is symmetrical and has a legacy behind it.

He isn't gonna change his number. I defenitly doubt it. These are just stupid rumors. He's gonna leave his number a #8 AIGHT!

He should definitely keep #8 and cement his legacy. His number has history already.
