Fans talking about Kobe catching Jordan on the all time list. Does it matter to anyone that Jordan did it in 13 years. Kobe's playing in his 18th year. Took Cap 20 years to get his. Malone 19.
If Kobe catches Mike, does he really catch Mike?
It depends on how you look at the record.
Ultimately I view it as a state function, it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get to the destination.
I think that view point is the general consensus when viewing records as well, although from time to time we see breakdowns of various records.

Mah Brutha, and with all due respect, especially since you've been holding down the fort in the Ferguson thread. But, you need to stop treating Kobe like a red-headed step child. Of course Kobe catches MJ. Different circumstances, different career arcs, etc. But Kobe is a better scorer than MJ. Put Kobe on those Bulls teams with Kobe, starting from the get and with a green light, being able to clean out a side whenever he wanted, with the increased pace of play and points per possession, a shorter three point line, and all of the missed games for lockouts etc and yes, Kobe averages 30 ppg, not 26, and yes, he passes MJ either way. Why you always gotta be finding fault with Kob? _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Most of the people don't care about the context in which the achievements were accomplished. So the average fan only care about who has the most.
But for those who will discuss this record with "more knowledgeable fans" who root for different players, there will always be someone to put things in perspective.
Here is one thing to consider, when Jordan was playing, Kareem already had his record established. So it's not like Jordan reached the top and then decided to retire. Jordan decided to retire (more than once) knowing he didn't hold the record but knowing he had the potential to reach it. So we can conclude that Jordan didn't care much about this.
Had Jordan decided to pursue this record and not retired the first few times, he would have much more points and would probably sit at the top. So when Kobe catches Jordan on this list, it will be a special moment for kobe fans and even for the average fan around the league. But that's it.

You can accuse me of being a troll or a kobe hater but it doesn't change the validity of what I'm saying. Allow me to give some examples in order to help you understand my argument.
1) knowledgeable (or not) kobe fan talking to another knowledgeable (or not) kobe fan: *common bias makes knowledge irrelevant. If both people likes or dislikes something they won't need to produce good arguments.
- Kobe is great and he has more career points than jordan.
- Yes he is the best.. YAY!
2) knowledgeable (or not) kobe fan talking to a non knowledgeable non kobe fan:
- Kobe is a better scorer than Jordan.
- No he isn't.
- Look at their career total points. Kobe owns Jordan. Kobe the best scoring SG ever!
- I didn't know that, maybe you are right.
3) non knowledgeable kobe fan talking to a knowledgeable non kobe fan:
- Kobe is a better scorer than Jordan.
- No he isn't.
- Look at their career total points. Kobe owns Jordan. Kobe the best SG scorer ever!
- That only means kobe had a longer career and he shot more, made more shots, missed more shots and ended with more points. His total career points doesn't tell much about his efficiency as a scorer.
4) knowledgeable kobe fan talking to a knowledgeable non kobe fan:
- Kobe is a better scorer than Jordan.
- Kobe has more career points, but that alone doesn't make him a better scorer.
- Agreed, so lets compare their scoring abilities, efficiency, etc.
- Ok.
As the thread title clearly says, the record belongs to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I'll be impressed when someone takes it away from him. Beating the 32000 mark is not an easy feature but at the same time it's not that impressive to pass MJ considering the length of each player's career.
The fact that Jordan (and Wilt) are in the top 5 of that list, while playing much less only makes their scoring accomplishments more impressive.
I know kobe fans have been waiting for this for a long long long time. It's ok to enjoy this moment of kobe's career. But while he climbs this list, his position in a "top 10 players of all time" remains unchanged (and no, he is not number 1).

I never understand why people get worked up about someone potentially breaking a record in 8-12 years.
The all-time points record is like climbing a mountain that gets steeper with every step you take. As Malone showed, even if you are only seemingly a year or two away, and going at full speed, you can be stopped in your tracks in a moment.
We're totally getting worked up dude.
I took an Ativan to calm down. My heart was racing when I read that Durant was 24 thousand points away. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
Meanwhile - Kobe is #2 for pts scored with one franchise. He's like 4500 away from that one. And if he gets that, who knows...
Then again, you never know. Walter Payton retired only 1 or 2 touchdowns shy of that old Jim Brown NFL record. _________________ Smrek 2, Nevitt 1, Barkley 0

Why you always gotta be finding fault with Kob?
I'm a Kobe fan, I'm also a basketball enthusiast. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is what many basketball players, including Kobe, aspire to be, they "Wanna Be Like Mike,"
Kobe Bean Bryant is one of the GOAT but he's not Mike. LeBron is trying in a different way to surpass the greatness of Jordan. He'll make his mark but it will be his and IMO it won't eclipse the standard set by Mike.
You can speculate Kobe would have done what Mike did in 13 years that it's taken him 18 to accomplish but it would be just that, speculation.
It's my belief if Mike hadn't taken two years off from the game the Bulls would have tied the Celtics 8 straight ships. He'd 3peated, took two years off, came back and 3peated. Who's to say the Bulls wouldn't have won those two years if he'd been playing.
I'm not finding fault with Kobe, I love his game. I'm a Laker fan, not a Kobe fan. I think without him the Lakers wouldn't be in the basketball echelon they are. I also believe his time has come and now is passing. I want the team to prepare for the inevitable.
I put Kobe with the likes of Russell, Jabbar, Chamberlain, Dr J, Magic, Bird and likes. I'm not knocking him but IMO Jordan is the template.
Now if you want to ride the don't say anything about Kobe unless it's good bus, so be it. Get on it and ride baby ride.
By the Bye KBCB: My post is not bashing Kobe, it's a comparison to Michael. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

13 years? Jordan played 16 years. Where did that guy learn math? Florida school districts? Kobe is in his 19 years in the NBA, however he hardly played his rookie year, played in two lockout seasons and only played 6 games last year. Soooooooooo, yah, learn math buddy. It;s fundamental.
Kobe did everything well but shot selection in his career. Kobe took too many three's considering he is 50% from mid-range. That is why MJ always was around the 50% mark even after he slowed down going to the rim.
In this day and age where the mid range shot is non existent, Kobe should have used it more instead of going beyond the arc so much.

True, Michael wasn't what you would call an automatic three-point shooter, but he was never that throughout his career. In 13 seasons, Michael shot 33.2 percent for his career from beyond the three-point arc, but because of his greatness, once he got on a roll he could shoot you out of a game by hitting three-pointer after three-pointer. Once again though, that was developed over the 13 years.
Or did he play 17 years?

You know, it would be easy to just go to basketball reference.com and count the years he played.
For Jordan, it'd personally be about his ppg, being passed on total would be meh, he wasn't number 1 anyway
As for 3 pointers, if you've ever listened to Mike about it, it's because no one practiced them when he was a kid, they were considered gimmicky, it wasn't really until later in his career that the 3 became a thing. Take a look for example at Stockton's career shooting, he wasn't one of those jason kidd's who got better at shooting, he just wasn't any good at a shot he didn't practice early in his career. _________________ I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong
