And it's probably because he was picked #8 overall. Cam wore  #2 at Auburn but stuck to #1 because he was picked first overall.

No, it was because Jimmy wouldn’t give up #2. 

Richardson, whom would never let any player where #1 before, not only gave Cam his blessing to where the #1, also encouraged him to do to.

I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna take some getting use to to see DB's wear single digits.

Jimmy also wouldn't give him the #2.

The single-digit selection of No. 8, the number Bryant wore in the first half of his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers from 1997 to 2006, will certainly be quite a different look in the secondary come game day.

Horn also appeared to have considered No. 21 and No. 24, Bryant’s second number he donned from 2007 to 2016, in the process.In the end, we can say he certainly nailed it. His No. 8 may not only signify his exact draft position, but also a true fandom to one of the most influential and impactful athletes in history.

this guy retire?

Sure, but Jimmy wasn't with the team the next season and Cam didn't pursue #2 after that.

and Cam set the world on fire as a rookie rewriting the record books.  At that point, he really couldn't' change.  Wouldn't be worth the money/cost and little kids across the country knew #1 was Cam.

Yay, our 1st round draft pick is choosing the number a rapist used to wear before he changed it for a clean slate after the whole rape thing!

Kobe tribute is cool but #8ball with the black jersey is perfection
