Kobe Bryant Becomes Youngest NBA Player To Reach 30,000 Points


On Wednesday night Kobe Bryant scored his 30,000th point to become the youngest NBA player to do so. He needed 13 points to get to 30,000 points and scored 29 points in the game. He joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who has 38,387 points, Karl Malone who has 36928 points, Michael Jordan who has 32292 points and Wilt Chamberlain who has 31419 points of NBA players to score 30,000 in their career. Kobe broke Wilt's record for the youngest player to 30000 points. Wilt Chamberlain held the record before Wednesday at 35 years and 179 days old. Kobe now holds the record at 34 years and 104 days old. I believe that Kobe wants end his career has the all-time leader scorer. If he scores 25 PPG for the next 4 seasons he will break the all-time record. This record won't stand for long because LeBron most likely come along and break this record. Kobe didn't score any where near LeBron in his first two seasons. Kobe is one of the greatest players in NBA history and this just adds another thing to his great list of career achievements which include: 5-time NBA Champion, 2-time Finals MVP, 1-time NBA MVP, 14-time NBA All-Star, 2-time NBA Scoring Title Champion, 10-time All-NBA 1st Team Selection and 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist and much, much more.
