#TSRSports: LeBron James Passes Kobe Bryant For The Third Spot On The NBA’s All-Time Scoring List

Last night LeBron James added another accomplishment to his legacy as he moved up to the third spot on the NBA’s All-Time Scoring List. The spot who was previously occupied by Kobe Bryant. However, as LeBron and the Lakers faced off against the Sixers, and during the game LeBron scored his 33,644^th point, placing him one spot higher on the list.

Kobe Bryant took to social media to congratulate LeBron on his accomplishment. He said, “Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother #33644.”

LeBron also reflected on his accomplishment and said, “Just to make a long story short, now I’m here in a Lakers uniform, in Philadelphia, where he’s from. The first time I ever met him, gave me his shoes on All-Star Weekend. It’s surreal. It doesn’t make no sense, but the universe just puts things in your life. And I guess when you live in the right way, when you just give it everything to whatever you’re doing, things happen organically.”

He continued, “And it’s not supposed to make sense, but it just happens. And I’m happy just to be in any conversation with Kobe Bean Bryant, one of the all-time greatest basketball players to ever play, one of the all-time greatest Lakers. The man has two jerseys hanging up in Staples Center. It’s just crazy.”
