You really thought Shaquille O’Neal would suggest that the Lakers retire a number for Kobe Bryant that has nothing to do with him?
Kobe Bryant was a star for the Lakers wearing both the #8 and #24, but because of some trouble in Colorado, Lakers brass will have to figure out which number heads to the rafters.
Shaq says that’s easy, retire the number 8, because he and Kobe were the “Kings of the Rings” during that time.
