Congratulations to one of the best scorers in league history.

Good stuff Kobe Bean

In other news it was announced today that Kobe Bryant is the youngest NBA player to reach 30,000 shots.

[BRHornet45]

********** 6,000 of those points came from bull free throws from the refs to help inflate his scoring numbers.

sorry sons

[MiamiHeat]

"Youngest" means squat because he entered the NBA at age 18. LeBron is going to shatter every single one of kobe's 'youngest' records. LeBron already broke all of them up to LeBron's age. When LeBron reaches 31, he'll have broken this one too.

Seasons played is where the truth lies.

Weren't Wilt, Kareem, Malone and Jordan older when they joined the NBA?

Congratulations to one of the best scorers in league history.

Carmello Anthony is going to be tugging on his cape in a few years.

Malone came straight from HS, but the others were not good enough to do what Kobe did coming out of HS.

Congrats to Kobe

Kobe's a lock for 30,000 and being a top 5 scorer in NBA history. We will see if his body can sustain to get to 35,000+ and make things interesting.

Kobe is definitely the best scorer of this generation, no doubt.

But 6-7 years later, Lebron will eclipse this anyway.

[BlackSwordsMan]

george hill will break this record

Don't be so sure. Lebron won't be scoring like he is now when his athleticism goes. Expect to see a sharp drop in Lebron's offensive game once he hits 30 or so. When he doesn't have the ability to blow past and through people to the rim, his ability to score will take a serious hit. Kobe has the skills to put up 25-30 PPG for the next 5 years even though he doesn't have the athleticism he had in his 20s. I can't see Lebron being able to do that in the later stages of his career.

Kobe is the , way to go dude

When his athleticism starts to drop he'll just use his huge frame to murder opponents on the block. I remember haters used to say the same thing about Jordan.

[baseline bum]

Oh, and props to Bryant: 25,000 points ain't no joke.

[Cry Havoc]

Congrats Kobe.

I agree. Though there is no guarantee anyone lasts past their next game though. Lebron will pass up Kobe on the "youngest" records if he stays healthy simply because Kobe took several years to become a starter on a veteran team where LBJ came in as the focal point day one.

Both are phenonimal players and I enjoy watching them both.


Congrats to Kobe on the milestone and a pre congrats for Timmys next game.
