How Kobe stacks up vs other 30000 point scorers

[rhythmic]

Durant's averaging 4.4 apg and Kobe's averaging 4.7 apg for his CAREER. And that's a ball dominant SG vs an off the ball SF

Durant is a PHENOM, a terrific all around basketball player. Anyone saying he's one dimensional are retards, plain and simple. But pretending like he can easily achieve what Kobe has is absurd. You're ridiculous dude, just shut up!

Jordan could have joined the NBA as a teenager, he just wasn't good/confident enough

Wilt and Kareem weren't allowed into the NBA until they were in their early 20's. Both would have certainly hit 30k several years prior to Kobe had they been allowed into the league at age 17. Age records aren't an honest milestone - because not every dominant player has been allowed into the league at the same age. The number of games or seasons it takes to reach a certain milestone is a much better mark of greatness. Just my opinion

19 game sample vs a 16 year career. lol

I'd take Kevin Durant over Kobe Bryant easily. More efficient and not as much of an offensive flow disruptor.

That would be MJ.

It wasn't meant to be a mark of greatness. 30k speaks for itself. Age is relevant because it demonstrates the opportunity for more.

Must be his Wizards years.

He reached 30,000 in his first year with the Wizards very near the end of the season... Against the Bulls.

This is true, depending on Kobe's determination he could probably chase Malone or even Kareem - just depends on how long he wants to stay in the league

Go ahead, he's all yours.

F*ck man, why can't people just appreciate this milestone instead of shitting on his fg%.

5 people, 5 PEOPLE in the history of the game have scored 30000 points, it's sad reading all the replies on here.

[Tmuston Beltics]

Just for the record

Durant is on pace to do it in 20652 shots and LeBron is on pace to do it in 21673

WTF!!! BOOKMARKED
