Terrence Ross has changed his jersey number from No. 8 to No. 31 in honor of Kobe Bryant.


Bryant wore No. 8 for the first part of his career before changing to No. 24.


Ross previously wore No. 31 with the Magic before changing to No. 8.

... or you could wear 8 to honour him. It’s all point of view. Lebron famously wore 23 because MJ was his favourite player.

Lebron wore 23 because he had no idea which side of the fence to land on. He clearly said no one should ever Wear 23 and then donned the uniform months later

In the past he wore #31 before changing to #8. Now he's changed back to #31 because of Kobe

all teams should retire either 8 or 24 to the rafters . the L should mandate it.
