It's a big mystery, he said that he was going to change last year, but it was never really explained why.

he is trying to one up LeBron...aka LeBron wears #23, so Kobe now wears #24...at least that was the rumor when he did it...

I think it's because that's the number he first wore in high school before switching to #33. when he got to the lakers he couldn't have #33 because a guy by the name of kareem abdul-jabbar wore that. i don't know why he chose #8 over #24 though when he first got into the NBA
