Not in Cali tho, wtf LA? :biggums:

[MMM]

more to cali than LA

The niners in their run probably had fans throughout the state

don't really understand why a kobe jersey would be so popular in a random state like Tennessee for example

[HOoopCityJones]

Or Ohio of all places. That shit is just irony.

They said the reason it's probably not as popular in Cali tho is people still rocking 24 right now.

[MEB2kDeez]

Kobe's 8 jersey and Iverson's 3 were the only jerseys I ever seen folks rocking in the early 2000s here in Ohio. Surprised people are still heavy into his jersey here though, can't lie lol. That's wassup though...

[game3524]

Kobe should have kept the 8, grant smart business move....but still.

[stalkerforlife]

People appreciate greatness...

Loyalty...

Championships.

Had to retire it after 81. Total business move, once he retires watch how fast they sellout all over.

the #24 is better... more stylish to look at on the new jerseys. the #8 was too slim and generic

its a more uniform number. i framed it back in 2007 cause it looked so damn nice

the #8 isnt a more popular jersey overall... just in terms of throw backs

and the reason for that is just because

a) the lakers throw backs are sick

b) kobe is the goat

c) #8 is a lucky number among asians

d) who better than kobe? - "kanyon/amare"

[Jailblazers7]

Surprised about Illinois not being MJ and wtf is up with Reggie Miller in Maine?

nothing funny or ironic with that. the 5 lebron stans on here with 40 accounts don't actually represent the national/international popularity of kobe

Only thing holding Kobe back from being the consensus GOAT worldwide is the grandpas that constantly keep Jordans myths alive, including Jordan himself. When they die off Kobe will be seen as the GOAT to everyone.

Who's the hot chick?

[Hey Yo]

My guess for Ohio would've been Tyrone Hill.

Sick jersey

The only thing keeping Kobe back from being the consensus GOAT is intelligence and common sense. If you Kobe stans can find away to rid the world of these he just might be the GOAT.

[dubeta]

The amount of spots he is behind Jordan all time. How fitting.

[ralph_i_el]

Who's the hot chick?
his mom

This dude saying Kobe 9th all time? I'll take it.
