Kobe changed his number from 8 to 24 because he wants to surpass Michael Jordan's greatness. He added 1 point to 23 to make it 24 to make himself higher than Jordan.

Notice Kobe's Olympic jersey number. it's No. 10 and Jordan uses No. 9 every time.

He believes he is "greater" than the great one in Basketball. Its his form of motivating himself to become the greatest of all time.
It was Kobe's number in high school. When he was traded to the Lakers, # 24 wasn't available. Now Kobe thinks that he is more mature, and he switched his number to 24.
