1st and foremost, I hate the Lakers w/ a passion and i'm not a Kobe fan by any means.
However, I got in a debate w/ a friend on if Kobe can pass Kareem as the all time leading scorer in the NBA.
Right now he's ranked 12th. Another 2,000 point season and he'll be ranked 6th.
This has been probably his most injury prone season and he's still played more than 70 games. I think w/ his work ethic and history he may be able to pull it off or come close.
