13.After 10seasons wearing the No 8on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No 24next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24when he was in early high school,but he changed to No 33in his senior year.He switched to No 8when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs.So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No 23jersey.Some,such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is"all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama"24".
All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No 23for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No 32Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets'No 11belongs only to Yao Ming.
Lots of stories are behind players'jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No 23because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
