2. Kobe is only player in history with 30k points, 6k assists

1. Career Scoring Leaderboard

The final two reasons go hand-in-hand. First, we can look at the members of the 30k points, 6k assists club:

Kobe Bryant

Welp, that pretty much sums that up. Jordan is close, finishing 367 assists shy, but that would have taken him almost another full season to reach the mark.

For a player like Bryant who has a reputation for not passing, that’s pretty elite company in the 30k points, 6k assists club.

Which brings us to the final reason Bryant is better than Jordan: the all-time scoring leaderboard. Just a few weeks ago, Bryant passed Jordan for 3rd place all-time in points. The mark is an impressive one as they are the only non-post players to be in the top 10 on that list, but nonetheless, Bryant reigns supreme over Jordan.
