Can Kobe surpass MJ's #3 on the all-time scoring list?

This way he will have the most points scored for a guard.

I definitely think he can score 6500 points over the next 4 seasons or maybe less.

He can do it in 3 years

I doubt it... but w/e

I'm sure he will. It will take him about 4 seasons, and I doubt he won't play at least that. Another reason I think he will play that much and surpass Jordan's total in the process is cause I highly doubt Kobe would end his career without that achievement.

This is something Kobe will beat Jordan at.... Kobe would also make a better GM.

only in your dream basic fan.

he will need 4 seasons, so it's possible but not done.

So I guess the consensus is that he will definitely get this done? This is a little-mind blowing.. players must have much long careers because even when Kobe was three-peating with Shaq I couldn't even imagine him surpassing MJ at anything.

He will break surpass MJ in 18 total seasons of play according to some in this thread.

It took MJ 15 seasons to amass those numbers. That is baller.

not for me, when i saw the ball hog growing up in him and with his young age, i thought he will be on the top scoring list.
and without injury, he should be the 3rd of it...

It would end up taking him like 18 seasons to do it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lebron James and/or Kevin Durant do the same thing.

That's because Jordan averaged nearly 23(22.9) shots per game, Kobe has averaged 19.3 shots per game. If you wanna add Kobe's first 3 years to diminish him, then you must be willing to remove them so he's career stats will be 28 5 5 compared to Jordans 30 6 5

How can you remove three seasons and then label those stats career? Career is the whole thing, not just spliced seasons to make your line look better.

This.

How ironic the typical FGA argument against Kobe comes back to bite them in the ass. Two can play.
