History awaits the Mamba this week
In the 18th season of his professional career, Kobe Bryant’s leading the league in points at 25 a game; but also most shot attempts. Two weeks ago, the purple and gold legend climbed into the 32,000 point club to become the fourth player in basketball history to obtain that achievement.
In anticipation of the Mamba surpassing Michael Jordan for third all-time on the NBA career scoring list, NBA puts together a video package focusing on Michael’s Chicago exit 16 years ago and how Kobe took over the league in years to follow. While passing Wilt and the mailman for the number one overall spot, Kobe’s just 62 points shy of surpassing the G.O.A.T. and could achieve that milestone before the weekend.
