Earlier this week (Feb 6th) Laker's shooting guard Kobe Bryant passed former teammate Shaquille O'neil in the NBA All-Time Scoring list, placing him into Fifth. Kobe's journey to the top has been catching the public eye's attention the past 2 years after passing many NBA Greats such as Jerry West, Karl Malone, and Oscar Roberson.
Mike Trudell, Laker's reporter, recorded Bryant's statement; "It's a huge honor," said Bryant, later admitting that it did mean more
to pass Shaq having been through so much with him. "I've played a lot of
basketball … I've been very, very fortunate and worked very, very
hard."
As he gets closer to the end of his NBA run, will Kobe Bryant have enough fuel left in him to score over 10,000 points to reach the #1 spot?
