were will kobe end up on the all time total points leaders board?
- Thread starter xavierty
- Start date
He'll be 38 in 4 years time and who knows, he might play for another season just to get that record.
That is probably what many people would consider that will make Kobe in the same greatness as Jordan.
I think we should keep bumping this thread everytime he gets another 1000...
You maybe right. But for now its Kobe for the taking...
See how Lebron goes once he gets into his 30"s first. mj, kobe and most greats evolve their game once they lose the athleticism. If anyone from the modern area would over take Kareem it would be Durant. It's a huge ask, 20 years of nearly 2000pts a year!!
Yeah, Durant is another one who has a good chance at the record... All these 3 players absolutely has a chance of breaking it: Kobe, Lebron, Durant... They all started in the NBA at a very young age...
But the way I see it, Lebron won't get it due to the fact that he will be playing alongside Wade and Bosh for a while.

Bryant isn't even top 10 for points per game, for career for all players, so to catch Kareem's total points he would have to play as many games as Lew Alcindor did.
It is certainly hard to find him on the assists lists. For assists per game he is well under Jordan, Pippen and Rick Barry. He is 0.23 assists per game ahead of Wilt. He is top 10 all-time for total turnovers, and the players ahead of him are either point guards who passed a lot or big-men who were double and triple-teamed in the paint a lot.
Interesting numbers, but he really should have passed to Shaq a lot more, and Krystkowiak too, and passed less to Jon Barry as he was terrible as a Laker.

kobes one of those players i see threads about and i go *sigh*
i think he hasnt got many season left in him, i hope he stays under jordan....im not a kobe,jordan or lebron fan so personally i dont care....even if he passes jordan, he cant be classed as "better" then him, just because a player can beat a legend in total points doesnt mean Squat!, what about other stats ?
When i think of legends with records i think of those who actually have made there mark overall over the "career stats", hell Wilt Chamberlain for an example holds 71 nba records and 62 of them by himself.
Looking at the propper records and seeing names like chamberlain,jordan,kareem,malone, as an "overall" career im my opinion i think these players have and will still be better then kobe, i think personally lebron is making his mark more overall then kobe...just my opinion..
and jus to throw it off target for those talking whose better then who

Respect the MVP!!
Perfectly said!!Its the fanboys that will argue it!!!And im a Kobe Fan...no denying it, so much hate for him!!everyone needs to go to the official OZCT hug thread...
I think he will probably end up 3rd alltime, KAJ's record wont be matched or passed
Durant will give it a big shake, 10000 points by age 24. Heck Duncan might play for another 18 seasons and go close..... Seriously thought kd is the only one who could go close, you really need to come straight out of high school or first year out of college.
Its a big if, but if he stays healthy then he could do it - not impossible by his standards. Whatever happens its been an amazing career for black mamba, started out as a "take it to the hole" player but he evolved every facet of his game to become well rounded.

.no were in that post did i say "i didn't like kobe"...i *sighed*
meaning it isnt going to matter if i praise him or trash talk him someone isnt going to like what i say, and even if i did say if i didnt like him would it matter?..im not the only person who has said they dont care.....
Care factor if someone thinks i hate kobe 0%. because i wouldnt be the first person on this thread to hate him....
I'm an MJ fan, no doubt about it. But you have all missed what i think is an important point....the competition. It's easy to score points when no one plays defense. From what i've seen i seriously doubt kobe or lebron would have a snowballs chance in hell of scoring 40 points against a team that has a defense as strong as the late 80's pistons with rodman, thomas, dumars and laimbeer...or the early 90's knicks defense with ewing, mcdaniel, oakley and starks. If you ever get the chance to watch games from this era i suggest you do. It's a lesson in how to play ball.
Ok, so do you like him?..
