Lakers News: LeBron James Passes Kobe Bryant For 3rd On NBA All-Time Scoring List

Error 0:

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (33,644 points and counting) has passed legend Kobe Bryant for third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list now.

With 7:24 remaining in the third quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers, James passed Bryant with a layup, but the Lakers unfortunately still trailed 74-54.

After turning 35-years-old on Dec. 30, James has moved up numerous lists during the 2019-20 NBA season and will continue to do so in his 17th season.

Based on James’ career average (27.1 points per game) and if he stays relatively healthy (70 games per season), it will take him about 1.
