Just like we saw him evolve on the court, Kobe witnessed all the changes the league suffered, starting from the uniforms. He changed his numbers and some people think he somehow became better when he made that decision.
This is not only about jerseys; this is about Kobe and his evolution as a player and the evolution of the league during the 20 years he played in the association.
