Kobe Bryant tops Jordan on NBA scoring list, has now scored 32,293 points!

Los Angeles Lakers star, Kobe Bryant reached 32,293 career points to surpass Michael Jordan in third place on the NBA’s career scoring list after notching 26 points in a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday (December 14) night.

36-year-old Bryant entered the game needing just nine points to topple the retired icon (32,292) with whom he is often compared. He got the mark with two free throws with 5:24 to play in the second quarter. He is now only behind former Lakers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and Karl Malone (36,928).

Michael Jordan, whose record he beat, said: “I congratulate Kobe on reaching this milestone. I’ve enjoyed watching his game evolve over the years, and I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next”.
