Lakers could retire two different jersey numbers for Kobe Bryant

When the Lakers inevitably retire Kobe Bryant’s number, they may not have to choose between the two numbers he’s worn in his NBA career.

"I don't know the answer. Obviously it's going to be 8, 24 or it could be both," said Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak at a season ticket holder event Sunday.

Bryant played the first half of his career with No. 8, winning three championships. He wore 24 for the Lakers' most recent two titles.
