The tragic and sudden passing of Kobe and Gianna Bryant has hit every member of the basketball community very hard. In honor of the Bryants, several players throughout the NBA have decided to change their jersey numbers; the league usually does not allow for midseason number changes, but are reviewing each player's request on a case-by-case basis. It's hard to imagine them denying any of these players, though.

Here is an updating list of players who have changed their numbers in memory of Kobe Bryant and in honor of his family.
