Will Kobe Become All-Time Leading Scorer?

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

As Kobe Bryant’s bosses can attest, what he says and what he does aren’t always the same thing (see retracted trade demand, summer 2007).

So while the 34-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star and newest member of the 30,000-point club might have said as recently as October that he plans on retiring after two more seasons, there’s a certain we’ll-believe-it-when-we-see-it component that means this question is still in play: can Bryant surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer? The answer is yes – if he wants to.
