24 Reasons Kobe Bryant Is Better Than Michael Jordan

17 of 18

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.
