Kobe surpasses Jordan on the all time scoring list

With 5:24 left in the 2nd quarter of the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night Kobe Bryant made history by making a pair of free throws to give him 32,293 career points, moving him past Michael Jordan to 3rd on the all-time scoring list.  He still trails Karl Malone in 2nd by over 4000 points but passing him may still be obtainable in Bryant's impressive career. 

The NBA released a video of many of Kobe's scoring milestones which is worth checking out even if you aren't a Kobe die hard. 

Tony Allen with the Rondo-esque fake and layup

Tony Allen put on a show Sunday night in a 107-91 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Allen uses the superb pick by Marc Gasol to get Matt Barnes off him and gets Glen Davis with the behind the back fake and lays it up and in. Davis isn't exactly the most agile or athletic big in the NBA so this move might not have worked against a slot blocker like Deandre Jordan but an exquisite move to get the Grizzlies the 2 points nonetheless.

Quite impressive but it only forced me to go back and watch this. Beautiful basketball all around. 

Jae Crowder block vs Lakers "Gimme That Shit"

In another Mavericks blowout game the benches were unloaded in the 4th quarter and Jae Crowder got a chance to play against a very middling Lakers bench. So he let some street ball loose particularly on the defensive end. He wanted people to know he had this block. And I wanted people to know this so the video below was made. Baller time at the AAC.

Kobe Bryant hits 32,000 in win over Hawks

Kobe Bean Bryant passed another scoring milestone tonight as he becomes the 4th player in NBA history to score over 32,000 points. Kobe's last basket in a rare Lakers win over the Hawks 113-109 put him over the 32k mark. Bryant now sits less than 300 points behind number 3 on the NBA's all time scoring list Michael Jordan. The Lakers will not be making the playoffs and overall don't have much to look forward to this season but if Kobe continues to take every shot he wishes the Lakers season maybe won't be seen entirely as a loss, especially since Julius Randle's injury opening night. Jeremy Lin did play well in the win over the Hawks scoring 15pts and 10ast but it's his and the teams inconsistency that leaves the Lakers in disarray. Bryant currently leads the league in scoring with 27.3 ppg, the lone bright spot of the Lakers bleak season.
