Wednesday was Aug. 24, or 8/24 in the U.S., the day the city of Los Angeles declared Kobe Bryant Day because of the two jersey numbers the star wore in his career.
That brings back a longstanding debate among Los Angeles Lakers fans and NBA fans as a whole:
As the video above states, Bryant played 10 seasons in each uniform. He scored 16,866 points as No. 8 and 16,777 as No. 24. He won more championship rings wearing his first uni (three to two), but he made 10 All-Star Games as No. 24 compared to eight at No. 8. He won his only MVP and Finals MVP awards wearing the latter number.
