Kobe Bryant has reached yet another milestone on Saturday night, passing NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain on the NBA all-time scoring list. Kobe headed into Saturday’s game against the Sacrament Kings only four points away from matching Chamberlain’s point total of 31, 419. Kobe was hurting from a bone spur in his foot during the game, but the veteran shooting guard fought through the injury to play against the division rival, Sacramento Kings.
In the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe scored on John Salmons at the free throw line and drained the jumper to surpass Chamberlain. Kobe is now fourth on the list of elite scorers in NBA history with Michael Jordan (32, 392), Karl Malone (36,928) and Kareem Adbul-Jabbar (38,387) ahead of the perennial All-Star.
The future Hall of Famer sets his sights on the final eight games of the season to help the Lakers clinch the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers look to take down the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks in the final weeks of the regular season.
