The historic moment happened in the second quarter on a fee throw against the Minnesota Timberwolves.The 32,293 point put Bryant at number 3 on the NBA’s all time list. Michael Jordan dropped to the 4th spot with 32,292.
“I’m just honored to be here, man, to still be playing,” Bryant said. “I appreciate being able to play this long. Careers normally don’t last this long. I really appreciate the opportunity to still be out there playing and performing and doing what I do.”
Bryant still has some ways to go if he wants to unseat the number 1 spot currently held by, Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387, or the number 2, Karl Malone, with 36,928 in career NBA points.
