Kobe: 8 vs 24

[10000 Days]

Tonight, the Lakers will retire Kobe Bryant's jersey. Both 8 AND 24.

If you only had to choose one, should it be 8 or 24?

Final MVPs tell the story. Number 8 was a sidekick to Shaq...a subordinate... hence the zero Finals MVPs. Number 24 was the man version.

Kobe is the man, people love to hate him. He's the NBA version of Tom Brady.

I like 8 cause he was very explosive

24 is more slick and crafty


Cant go wrong with either really

It’s tough to pick one over the other both were amazing players and all-time great. I personally like #8 little more he was more athletic, much better defender, more explosive, elite 1st step, higher leaper and dunker. Kobe scored 81 points and outscored the Mavs single handley 62 in 3 quarters you add in 9 straight 40 point games, 5 straight 50 point games, months averaging 40+ as #8 yeah give that Kobe over #24.

#24 was the best player on his team, so I'll go with that one.

They should just retire his name... Kobe. Why the hell am I just finding out about this sports lounge forum?! Found a new home I guess

They should just retire his name... Kobe.

To be fair, who would name their kid that now?

 

[faustian]

8-24 sounds like a typical Finals shaating performance from prime Kooby

Unless they're from Los Angeles, they'll be fine.

The problem would be if a dude already named Kobe transfers to LA, should he legally change his name?

Yes, he should have to do that by law.
