Whatever it may be (if it's even true), it definitely doesn't deserve to get hated on...PeACe
Any elite player would be hated on for changing their number. Kobe isn't a special case.
And this is making news why?

Jordan's number change wasn't a personal decision, he was forced to get a new number. The only logical reason to change the number is to give his image a rebirth and to generate more money. There is nothing wrong with that of course but you can't deny that it screams "attention whore"

I highly doubt it has anything to do with attention, number 8 draws way more attention than 24. It's a personal decision, we don't know why. Maybe he likes it, maybe it means something more to him now? Jordan coulda' taken 23, but decided he was gunna change it...It was a personal decision, just like Kobe...But of course, Kobe gets hated for wanting to change his number! LMAO. Grow up, people...BTW, anyone remember this?:http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=3704.0Doubt it's gunna get changed...
Jordan could have asked them to unretire it, you guys honestly think he wasnt great enough? While you're claiming I'm having Kobe vs. the world delusions, you're spitting out false accusations of Kobe doing this as some sort of greedy marketing scheme...Come on now, don't be so hypocritical...All I'm saying is that it's just a fuckin number, and if he wants to change it, fine, that's up to him...It's beyond ridiculous to over-analyze it and go as far as hate on him over HIS number HE decided to change...And on top of that, I doubt it'll even change...

The NBA wasn't going to let a player change their rules, no matter how good he is. -Nobody has accused him of a marketing scheme, it's just going to end up happening wether he wanted to do it or not. -It being a logical decision to make more money doesn't mean im accusing him of doing that
24 ain't got nothing to do with kobe showing up jordan by 1, it's him showing up lebron by 1 ha
