Although he played his final game donning No. 24, many Laker fans remember a younger, hairier Bryant flying through Staples Center with a different number on. He was wearing No. 8 when he scored 81 against Toronto, 62 in three quarters against Dallas, and when he won three titles alongside Shaq. Even though he only wore the number for 10 seasons, Bryant’s accomplishments solely as No. 8 are Hall of Fame worthy.
