Kobe Bryant can pass nine points over M.J
|The Minnesota Timberwolves almost certainly won’t keep him from passing Michael Jordan for third on the NBA all-time scoring list Sunday. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar became the all-time scoring leader in 1984. Since then, Abdul-Jabbar needed 21 points to pass Wilt Chamberlain at the time.
“It’s a heck of a body of work, for sure,” San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich said “Obviously it’s proof that he’s a quite accomplished individual, both skill-wise and competitiveness-wise. He’s one of the all-time ultimate warriors on the court. You don’t get to that point without that.
Bryant has needed more time to get here than Jordan, who did it in 1,072 games while averaging 30.1 points.
Last season, Lakers lost twice at Minnesota, to day game at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota 7:00pm, will be tough game, and Kobe will try to pass nine points over M.J.
