Although Kobe Bryant has been asked many times, he still isn't sure who would win a mystical game of one-on-one between the young Kobe in his No. 8 Lakers jersey and his older self, who wore No. 24.

Although Kobe Bryant has been asked many times, he still isn't sure who would win a game of one-on-one between the young Kobe in his No. 8 Lakers jersey and his older self, who wore No. 24.

The Los Angeles Lakers plan to retire Kobe Bryant's No. 8 and No. 24 jersey on Dec. 18 at Staples Center when the team hosts the Golden State Warriors, the team announced Tuesday night.

The No. 8 Los Angeles Lakers jersey was worn by the late basketball legend in his 23rd NBA game when the Lakers faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Dec. 8, 1996, at The Forum.

He becomes the 10th Lakers player to have his jersey retired, and the first since Shaquille O’Neal saw his No. 34 hung on the Staples Center wall in 2013.

Bryant wore the No. 8 jersey from his rookie season in 1996-1997 until the 2005-2006 season. From that point on, he wore No. 24. That's exactly 10 seasons in each.

The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Tuesday they will retire both the No. 8 and the No. 24 jerseys to honor Kobe Bryant this season.
