Kobe Bryant is 32 points closer to the passing Michael Jordan to become 3rd in the all-time scoring list. But that wasn’t important for Kobe Bryant YET. The task tonight was defeating the Sacramento Kings. Darren Collison and Rudy Gay combined for 49 points, and the Kings led throughout most of the game, but the Lakers prevailed to win 98-95. Kobe Bryant had 32 points and had 6 crucial assists that helped push the momentum in favour of the Lakers.
Analysis: The Los Angeles lakers become 6-16 in the season, and the questions aren’t around why they are doing so bad, or how they can become better, the questions revolve Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant passing Michael Jordan to become 3rd in the all-time scoring list would make his childhood dream come true, because let’s face it, Kobe Bryant’s game was very similar to MJ’s. So similar, that just passing MJ in the scoring list would force Jordan out of retirement just to get back to 3rd. That shows you the competitive nature that both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan have. They face the San Antonio Spurs next, and it would be absolutely amazing if he were to score 31 more points against an arch rival.
