NBA Players changing their jersey number to respect KOBE!
We are still feeling bad and weird and when we see Kobe's face on TV on any other social media we still feel so sad.. Once again R.I.P. Black Mamba..
Current and retired NBA players has been giving amazing support, try to help Bryant family and they all try to respect KOBE after his sudden death. The first big support came from Dallas Mavericks, the team owner Mark Cuban sail that no one will wear number 24 ever in Mavericks history.. I got emotional when i hear that news..
Also some NBA players changed their numbers.. Brooklyn Nets PG Spencer Dinwiddie changed his jersey number 8 to 26 and showed this respect to the Black Mamba.. After that Orlando Magic player Terence Ross changed his number 8 jersey to 31 and he also showed some respct for the Legend..
And as far as i heard that Celtics' Kemba Walker and Raptors' Norman Powell will change their numbers today as well.. Walker was wearing 8 and Powell was 8.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Quinn Cook is changing his jersey number 2 to 28 to show his recpect. Cook said that he choose 2 for Gianna Bryant, because seh was playing basketball on 2 was her number and choosed 8 for Kobe and combined the numbers..
As we all know the Lakers has retired Kobe's both 8 and 24 numbered jerseys just after he is retired. Kobe played 10 years with number 8 and 10 years with number 24.. He scored more than 16.000 points with each of his jerseys.. What a legend..
R.I.P. Kobe, we will always remember you..
