When Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list in a Los Angeles Lakers road game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was a massive spectacle.
Despite being a road game, the game was stopped completely and Bryant was given the game ball. Now, LeBron James — who already unceremoniously passed Jordan last season — is gearing up to pass Bryant.
As it stands, James is 65 points behind Bryant with three Lakers road games coming up. A matchup against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, then a bout against Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets, and finally a primetime game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
