NBA players who currently wear No. 8 or No. 24 have started talking about how they’re willing to change their number in hopes that the NBA will retire his numbers across the league, and some have even gone ahead and changed their number for good.
On Tuesday night, more players and teams across the NBA paid tribute to Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and all the victims and their families from Sunday’s accident, and some did so by changing their number to one of his for the night.
Joel Embiid returned from injury on Tuesday night and he returned to the lineup with a new number for the night. Meanwhile in Cleveland, Bryant’s former teammate Larry Nance Jr. switched up his number and rocked No. 24 on Tuesday, as well.
Hopefully the NBA listens to all the requests and decide to retire Bryant’s No. 8 and No. 24.
