3. Lakers All-Time Leading Scorer > Bulls All-Time Leading Scorer
Both Bryant and Jordan stand as all-time leading scorers for their respective franchises. Jordan’s 29,277 points with the Bulls is nearly double what second place managed, which happened to be teammate Scottie Pippen. The previous all-time points leader prior to Jordan was the great…..Bob Love? Love managed an astounding 12,623 points. It took less than six seasons for Jordan to pass that mark.
Comparatively, Bryant ranks top among Lakers scorers, and the list of those he passed is certainly a who’s who of players.
5. Magic Johnson
4. Elgin Baylor
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2. Jerry West
1. Kobe Bryant
Excuse me for not being nearly as impressed with Jordan topping the likes of Love, Chet Walker, and Reggie Theus.
Next: 30,000 points and 6,000 assists
