Kobe Bryant entered tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves needing just nine points to pass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list and of course he got the job done.
We would’ve loved if it came off a contested Kobe Bryant fadeaway but it came from free throws. He did however sink a three-pointer before going to the line and continued to hit 10 straight before halftime.
