Kobe Bryant Passing Michael Jordan

I know this is not about LeBron, but this guy is beyond talented and people claim he is better than Michael Jordan and I would agree with that. Kobe is known for the most missed shots in the NBA, he holds that record for the most missed shots. You also would see similarities between Kobes' style of play and Jordans'. Kobe might have stole his moves, but he perfected how it looked. Jordan was the guy to hit clutch shots, but he is also known to finish around the rim. Kobe is a shooter and we all know that. Kobe is or was the most clutch person, and you can not deny it just because you do not like him. Kobe has been through many injuries, even a career ending injury the torn achilles. Kobe came back from that injury, all Jordan really had was the "Flu" game. What makes Jordan better? That he has 6 rings and Kobe has 6? Well, Kobe is about to pass Jordan pretty soon in points. Given healthy and 30 or so shot attempts over the next game or three, Kobe will pass Jordan for third in NBA history in career points. Kobe came up in a generation desperate for "The Next Jordan." Kobe Bryant who is now 36 years old, but still leading the NBA with 25.5 points a game this season for the 6-16 Lakers, has outlasted most of his rivals from that era. Jordan has 32,292 career points and Kobe has 32,262. Kobe had to say this after the win Against Sacramento, "It's coming, I just take it all in stride." There is no doubt that all Laker fans are waiting to see Kobe pass Jordan. This is history for the old Kobe Bryant. This is a cherry on top of a sundae, and now it is just when is he going to retire? Kobe said he can not see himself playing beyond 2015-16. That is a lot of time from now, but it has to leave Laker fans kind of down? Is the Clippers going to be the next team for Los Angeles? Or are the Lakers going to get a young and talent player from the draft like Kobe again? Highly unlikely. But, who knows? Kobe might change his mind playing beyond the 2015-16 season. For right now, watch the history in the making. Pretty soon, Kobe will pass Jordan for the third spot in the NBA for most career points.
