If you are a die-hard Kobe Bryant fan, chances are that hanging in your closet are four different jerseys with the name Bryant stitched on the back.

There’s the throwback No. 33 jersey, that Bryant wore during his prep days at Lower Merion High in Pennsylvania.

Then there is the No. 8 jersey that he wore during his first 10 seasons with the Lakers and the No. 24 Lakers jersey that he has worn for the past two years.

But the jersey ensemble would not be complete without the red, white and blue jersey, emblazoned with the No. 10.  That’s the uniform number that Bryant wears as a member of Team USA.

The reason why Bryant will wear No. 10 in the upcoming Beijing Olympics is because per FIBA rules, players on every roster are limited to wearing jersey numbers from 4 through 15. Teams are limited to 12 players.

So, do you have all four Kobe jerseys or do you need to do some shopping?
