Another day at the office, another milestone for perennial Western Conference all-star Kobe Bryant. In the second quarter of yesterdays 95-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Kobe knocked down a long jump shot, and took sole possession of the number 5 spot on the NBA’s all time scoring list with point number 28,601. Despite the loss Kobe got to make history in his home town of Philly which probably made the moment a little sweeter. The next man up is the late great Wilt Chamberlain who scored 31,419 points during his illustrious career. It seems like A tall order but its one that Kobe should achieve relatively soon, seeing as how he continues to be a prolific scorer. Bryant has been in the league for 15 years and shows no signs of slowing down, much to the delight of myself and NBA fans around the world. Congrats Kobe!
