Report: Kobe To Change To 24

He's trying to say he is the next level of MJ, not 23, but 24. I'm almost sure of it.

Oh God, next MJ, bla bla bla. Have your own identity. I hate how LeBron chose exactly 23.

I like that. He's brash enough and ridiculously talented enough to pull it off.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

exactly... he'll be back to #8 in a couple seasons... this is just like MJ when he went to #45 for a little while after his 1st comeback.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
