Kobe Bryant 8 vs 24 Top 10 Jersey Retirement Tribute! Which Kobe Was Better? 

24 was smarter 8 was flashier

What Kobe did to Dwight was downright one of the most disrespectful dunks of all time

Rest in piece Kobe “black mamba” Bryant

Kobe #8: More athletic, and had more iconic moments Kobe #24: More tricky to guard, well-rounded and pretty much unguardable because he has so many tricks and moves up his sleeve.

Saddest kobe moment ever was when he tore his achilles 😭

My favorite player ever , retire in Peace #8 #24

The most iconic is 24 but 8 is more entertaining

RiP Kobe & Gianna. Prayers up!

24 was ice cold, but 8 was a pure savage.

Both are legends..Different animal, Same beast.

8 More Athletic 24 Fundamentals

#24 was better but #8 was more entertaining IMO

It doesn't matter about which number was better, the man behind him is what made them both legendary. #BlackMamba

It’s crazy how we’re comparing the same player #greatness

4:06 was nasty

I love it when he just say "OH BABY!!" It be having me rolling dawg 😂

8 was the more athletic Kobe but 24 was the more skillful and more basketball iq Kobe

24 is the most complete Kobe. But 8 was a demigod glitch

5:31 Finally the question has been officially been answered. Smoove's a Heat fan

1:32 was nasty

Number 24 just for that fact that he proved he was a legendary player with out shaq

Tell me you don't yell kobe after you throw a piece of paper in the bin

8 Kobe had something that 24 Kobe never could do which was grow hair 😂 I’m sorry you still the Black Mamba KOBE + 🏀 = GOAT CENTER

For me kobe will always be #24 But I'm only 17 so I missed a big part of his his incredible career

Idk #8 Kobe was when he became the black mamba but then #24 Kobe proved he didn't need Shaq LEGEND no matter what number

easy its 24... 8 is the more flashy more explosive and straight killer type player... but 24 is smarter, wiser, and polished player.. not to mention the 24 is the MVP and a proven winner.... because the no. 8 is often criticized for just being carried by shaq...

Number 8 was better for sure

RIP Kobe ❤

5:22 I'm surprised the shirt didn't rip...

Kobe Bryant is a legend.

I feel real old cause I remember watching almost all of these games live as a kid and teen

The best part is his commentary! 🔥

Kobe anywhere out of top 10 is insane

Number 8 kobe was so much more athletic

The Most Little Chris Smoove vid to Date !! Mamba Out ✌️✌️✌️

Grew up watching #24 so it's got a special place in my heart.

Sadly never got to see number 8 Kobe only 24 but I gotta say number 8 over clips I've watched

number 8 is super athletic and was a monster

great vid Smoove

Great vid Chris - thank you #LongLiveMamba!

8 Kobe was more fun to watch, but statistically, 24 Kobe was better. Also, it was truly an honour for Kobe to score 81 against my team, the Raps...lol

People compare greats with other greats, but kobe getting compared to himself .... cheesy move

8 kobe steak vs 24 black mamba

RIP Kobe🙏

I'm going with number 24 Kobe Bryant

Loved both but I gotta give a slight edge to #8.

It was amazing watching his final game, seeing the difference in athleticism from his prime to that game, wide open lanes early in the game and he couldnt even dunk, and towards the games end barely moving up the court. But watching him fall back on his 20 years of professional experience, relying on his form, and trusting his judgement and just out thinking and out playing the jazz with smart plays, it was incredible, greatest performance from any player.

The number 8 is the best one. He makes it splash!!!💧💧💧

#8 Kobe best

8 Kobe scored 81

Throughout the video, I got goosebumps, not just because of those phenomenal plays, but also because of Smoove. His commentary made it even better.

Nobody better to commentate on the Living Legend ; Than Smoove!!

Overall id say kobe had his best defensive seasons plus people were taking about how he was the best player in the world while wearing #8 whereas he was more matured and focused on team ball while wearing #24. So I give it to number 8

#8 More athletic and Faster. #24 Better shooter and better basketball IQ

He was a pleasure to watch, man i miss him

I got his 8 and 24 jersey still but imagine if he was with Charlotte... dem colorways would be 🔥

8>24

I actually always thought 24 was the better Kobe but now that I look at these highlights I gotta change my mind and say #8 was the better Bryant

beautiful any Kobe!

Rest In Peace MAMBA We will fighting the 2020 so may challenges But we fight💪👊

Im rolling with 8

MJ- Retired Kobe- Retired When LeBron retires I'm probably gonna cry

I'm gonna have to say #8. Even though I wasn't old enough to watch from the start of #8, these highlights were amazing

In 2023, this video still never fails to impress.

Frobe was better simple don't need no argument tho 👌🏼

No. 24 is all the way better in basically all areas, he was still getting better until he torn his thing

Happy 1st Anniversary for his two-jersey retirement!

miss u :'(

Number 8 Kobe was flashy Number 24 Kobe was a CHAMPION

8=24

I love both of them I love number 24 and 8

No matter which jerseys he wear I always love him and be grateful for the rest of my life that I born in his era.

Both was great, both had great moments, both are 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 24# 8#

Where is the dunk on smith

Honestly I don't know which one to pick I wanna pick 24 because of that incredible 60 point game he had and I watched but then again he had more clutch shots and posters with number 8 and he dunked on Howard I gotta go with 8

#8 Frobe was my favorite; RIP

It don't matter it kobe frobe or kobe #blackmamba

Obviously 8 was better by the fact that he scored 81. Who wanna talk about 8 can’t shoot. How did he score 81 mainly off JUMPSHOTS

When I started basketball he was the first nba player I ever found out about

cannot choose

He should retire with 8 and 24 ...he deserve to have a double banner

There's no answer to that question. Regardless, both numbers would embarrass all of the league's top players today. Kobe was unstoppable

Rest in piece

I’m going with number 8 🔥🔥

#24

8 Kobe

No matter what is the jersey's number he is the legend😌👍🏻 Lakers fans , it's your day) #Mambaout💪🏻🔥

#8 was my favorite, ESPECIALLY when he had the fro. Frobe was a savage. No matter the number, still my all time favorite player.
