Man City loanee Adarabioyo: ‘Kobe Bryant is the reason I wear no. 24’
Blackburn Rovers centre-back, Tosin Adarabioyo, has described Kobe Bryant as the reason behind the number 24 on the back of his shirt.
The Manchester City loanee made the revelation in his tribute to the LA Lakers icon who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday alongside his daughter and seven other people on board.
Bryant started his LA Lakers career wearing the no. 8 shirt and later switched to no. 24 for his final 10 years at the club – a number Adarabioyo sees as inspiration and he has been wearing it since he made his professional debut for Manchester City in 2016.
