| People don’t hold those kind of tributes or memorials for just a basketball player. The tears we’re because they felt inspired by that individual |

Yeah, seeing the #8 and #24 definitely made me cry. I still can’t believe he’s gone. My family loved him. |

He was both of those numbers. She was #2. |

| Dang, what a smile he had. I had such a crush. |

Can someone explain why he is so closely associated with both numbers? That’s unusual, particularly for someone who stayed with the same team. |

He changed his number after Shaq left. |

He wore #8 and then switched to #24 (former high school #). Won championships in both numbers. |

This is touching, too. Vanessa wants to keep some of the fan memorial items:

Sorry to interrupt with helicopter stuff but this podcast interview is fascinating:
