Bryant Clinches 32000 Career Points
Inches closer to Michael Jordan's spot
Kobe Bryant, the shooting guard for LA Lakers clinched his 32,000th point against Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, thus coming close to overtaking Michael Jordan's all time 3rd highest tally of 32,292 points.
Bryant scored 28 points from the game with 4 rebounds, 3 assists & a steal in Lakers' 114-109 win over Hawks.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar (38,387) & Karl Malone (36,928) are the only players ranked ahead of Michael Jordan in total career points. Although Kobe has been scoring in bunches this season, it has still been a dull for the Lakers yet again sitting at 2-9 right now. But he is a constant force who will never stop pushing, lifting his team time and again.
With an average of 27 points per game, Bryant will hopefully overtake Michael Jordan within 10-15 games comfortably, adding to the saga of comparison between the two Legendary Athletes.
