24 was a smarter player

What Was The Real Story Of Him Switching To 24? All I Ever Heard Was The Urban Myth That He Wanted To 1 Up Jordan, Hence 24
I thought #8 was for his ABCD camp jersey being 143, each number adding up to 8his birthday is August 24th aka 8/24
he used the 8 for August at first but then changed it to the date 24
he wore 8 because Dantonio in Italy
he wore 24 because of his other favorite player Baldovino

I'm starting to think he had multiple reasons why he chose #8 & #24

The first big difference between them was the footwork. I'm going with 24 by inches24 wasn't as undisciplined and selfish as 8 was. Somewhat better shot selection and his footwork was much more refined. I'll go with 24 version of Kobe.
