The reason behind Kobe Bryant's jersey number retired has the 24

Kobe Bryant's mindset was so strong that even today keeps surprising many people as Kevin Garnett has revealed why Kobe Bryant wore the No. 24.

The Lakers legend Kobe Bryant wore two different numbers on his jerseys with purple and gold, the number 8 and the number 24, which have been retired from the team in his honor.

But now Kevin Garnett has spoken about what the 24 stands for: “People don't understand what his No. 24 stands for, people don't understand that was a sign to everybody that he was a step above 23. And that was a shot at Mike, like n—, I'm better than you.”

This is just another proof that Kobe Bryant wanted to be better than Michael Jordan and that his unique mindset has never been matched. Bryant, without a doubt, was one of a kind force of nature in the NBA.
