Paul George joins Tatum in honoring Kobe Bryant
Paul George, a fresh addition to the Philadelphia 76ers, has also chosen to honor Kobe Bryant with his jersey number. He's selected number 8, paying cognizance to Bryant in light of the fact his previous numbers, 13Walt Chamberlain) and 24 (Bobby Jones), are already retired by the team.
It's worth noting that Bryant was not just any player to Philadelphia; he was a hometown hero, born and raised in the city and schooled in Lower Merion, a suburb of Philadelphia. Thus, for George, who is also an ardent Bryant admirer, the number switch was a fitting tribute to his idol.
