Kobe really wanted a Low 80's Number

I am wanting to get into a Story Mode, albeit not happy and from the Channels of Mid 2000's Sports Radio, requisite with Actual Sponsors by the truckload. What Kobe Bryant wanted in the Mid 2000's was a Low 80's Number (80, 81, and 82), but, each one of them where vetoed by the League.

Even though Basketball would get to where'd they need High Numbers or High Numbers in Order, but, Kobe going into the 80's would be a dangerous and a toxic precedent. He wanted 80 largely as an evolution of 8, which was the combination of the 143 at the ABCD Camp.

Where it got tricky was 81, to immortalize his 81 Point Game. Along with the other trash that was circular in the Mid 2000's, having to immortalize your Career Saving "Doin' Work" Game on your Jersey would be more than a bit uncalled for, even for the Early 2000's.

Before 24, he wanted 82, as another evolution of 8, and the league office vetoed each of his Low 80 Number Combinations, because of what I said earlier. If someone went with a 56-99 Number because that would be their whole career, it would be revolutionary. I don't think the detail guy wants to go down that road again where High Numbers would be a Cover to Get Attention, especially negative attention.

Initially, Kobe's Plan was to roll with his 33 from Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania, but, that number was already used by Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I don't see 12 or 45 on the United Center Rafters even now, and the only time LeBron changed digits was 6 for his Heat Years.

His evolution to 24 was not without consternation in the Lakers Camp or the League Office. This wasn't just another 6 Pack of Beer Number Change like earlier Sports Airwaves. I still won't fete phrase emptily because this is not Mr. Hockey or the World's Greatest.

The Lakers Are Needing a Westbrook and George Trades in the Future

I hate to inocculate the same Sports Deal, but, because of Lonzo's Boner Ball Tactics, I feel the Lakers are Needing a Trade to Get Russell Westbrook and Paul George out of Oklahoma for a Couple Gatorade League Scrubs to fill the program. And, what I see the Balls doing is taking advantage of instability in the Olympic Sports Arena and use it to their advantage.

Using the Lakers as a Bargaining Chip, Using Steve Alford's UCLA Bruins as a Bargaining Chip, and that is a bit easy, if not too easy, and sadly the only way we'd get out of paying Fran McCafferty is either Clock Out July 1st, 2024, even if Pocahantas, to President Trump, snatched the presidentcy and a reelection like Warren Johnson Pro Stock and you couldn't even do a Lewis-Martin Roast, but, you can't pull Bieber down in your system, or have the NCAA Wolves come out about Student GPA/APR.

And, Riverside County always has been starving for an identity since the Track Closed. And, Mark Donohue identity, Mickey Thompson identity, AJ Foyt identity, Don Garlits identity, and Ron Hornaday's Jr and Sr identity. But, sadly, those 4 Boner Balls not identity, and throwing the new school off forever is not. Russ and George actually want to be Lakers, and being morally Primrose when you duck the hard games, but, the easy games are rosey-posey.

Duh, nobody's winning when you have miniseries of Gambling Problems slide left and right. And, I am not talking about Mah Jongg, and breaking a great system because you wished it into existance doesn't mean you can't deny legit Lakers.
