Change for money orr reputation?
Kobe Bryant is one of the most popular basketball players in the NBA today, even after his rape trial. After the trial and what many considered a selfish season were he scored a lot of points but the L.A. Lakers lost games. According to an article on espn.com Bryant's popularity is starting to return to the level it was when the Lakers were winning championships. He says the number change is because it the number he wore in high school, but I think it is to make more money and bring attention to himself this pre-season, and not the type of attention he recieved after his rape trial.

I think that Kobe is just changing his number to get away from his old selfish image. Even with a number change the same number 8 will still be on the court scoring 50 points a game.
