Passes Michael Jordan On Scoring List
Kobe Bryant never will pass Karl Malone or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, but it was a special moment when he passed Michael Jordan for third on the list. Perhaps fittingly, Kobe’s first point in the NBA came on the free throw line, as did the moment he passed MJ on the scoring list.
I’m sure Kobe will fondly remember December 15th, 2014.
Kobe grew up idolizing Jordan, even mimicked his game in many ways. To see him pass his former idol on the NBA’s all-time scoring list was a great cap to Kobe’s sensational career. It’s also a testament to how great of a career that Kobe had in the NBA.
