When Michael Jordan left the NBA, it took him 1072 games to accumulate 32,292 pionts. It took Kobe Bryant 1269 games and almost 800 more shots to finally reach Michael Jordan.
But hey, I’m not taking anything away from Kobe’s historic feat this week when he passed Michael Jordan to become number 3 on the NBA’s all time scoring list, that is a huge accomplishment worthy of praise. Don’t tell that to Reggie Miller though…
During his weekly appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, Reggie Miller ended the Jordan vs. Kobe debate – in his own mind.
When asked about Kobe Bryant passing Michael Jordan for third place on the all-time scoring list earlier this week, Miller said, “Michael Jordan on his worst day is 10 times better than Kobe Bryant on his best day. That’s not short-changing Kobe at at all, because he handed me my lunch pail, too, but I will take that Black Cat (Jordan) all day, any day over Kobe.”
But then there was this Reggie Miller/ Kobe Bryant fight back in 2002.
