Number Four Overall

Kobe Bryant has officially moved up the scoring leader board this past game against their Pacific coast division rivals the Sacramento Kings. In the first quarter Steve Nash again has to leave a game early due to injury. With this injury occurring Kobe decided to change his style of play, instead of looking for his shot first he played more of a facilitator role. The Lakers ended the game with a victory over the Kings 103-98 and Kobe ended the game with 19 pts, 14 Ast, and 9 Reb. In the second quarter Kobe drains a pull up 19 foot jump shot that pushes him over Wilt Chamberlin to the number four overall spot on the leader boards in scoring. This gave Kobe 31,421 career points and Chamberlain has 31,419 total points.
