Kobe passed Moses Malone last night on the All-Time NBA Scoring List. Just this season Kobe has gone from 13th to 6th, passing John Havlicek, Dominique Wilkins, Oscar Robertson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Elvin Hayes and now Moses Malone. Kobe is only 1167 points behind Shaquille O'Neal for 5th. At his career average of 25 PPG, he will pass Shaq in 47 games, so sometime early next year. Wilt Chamberlain is 4th with 31419, Michael Jordan is 3rd with 32292, Karl Malone is 2nd with 36928 and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 1st with 38387. Kobe needs 10965 to pass Kareem. I assume that Kobe wants to pass Kareem, Kobe plays about 72 games a season, it will take him about 6 season to pass Kareem, he will have to play until he 37 to pass Kareem. Kobe though might want 40000 points, which will take about 7 season, if Kobe's stats stay the same. He will be then almost 38 and played in the NBA 22 seasons.
