Why Kobe Bryant Changed Jersey Numbers and the Special Meaning Behind No. 24 and No. 8

#Mamba  #Jersey #KobeBryant #GiannaBryant  #LosAngelesLakers #RIP Kobe Bryant  played for the Los Angeles Lakers for his entire  20-year career , but he changed jersey numbers halfway through his career. When he made his debut with the team in 1996, after being drafted straight out of high school, Bryant started out with No. 8. “When I first came in at 8, is really trying to ‘plant your flag’ sort of thing,” Bryant told  ESPN  in 2017, shortly before the Lakers  retired both of jersey numbers 8 and 24 . As for why he chose the single-digit number, Bryant, who died on Jan. 26 in a  helicopter crash , had two reasons. No. 8 was not only a nod to the number he wore as a young boy while playing in Italy — where his family lived while his father, former NBA player Joe Bryant,  continued his professional career  — but also, he wore No. 8 at the youth training camp Adidas ABCD camp, where he wore no. 143, which adds up to eight.

Coliseum because the Staples Center simply isn't big enough. Our sources tell us ... a meeting took place this week to discuss where Kobe's eventual memorial might go down in the coming weeks or even months. People who were in the room say a few venues were considered -- some made more sense than others. Of course, the Staples Center is considered "The House That Kobe Built" -- but it only holds around 20,000 people ... and judging by the massive  response to his death , organizers feel they should be ready for a MUCH larger crowd. The Coliseum holds roughly 80,000 people -- and the surrounding parks are capable of holding many, many more. It seems the most logical option at this point. The Rose Bowl was also brought up as a possible venue -- since
