Kobe Bryant chose the number 8 because the numbers 24 or 33, which he wanted to use, were not available. He came up with the number 8 by adding up the digits from his camp number.

Kobe Bryant chose to wear number 8 during the early part of his career with the Lakers because it was the number he wore as a youth in Italy. He later switched to number 24 to symbolize a new chapter and to honor his growth and evolution as a player.
