Bryant, 41, was killed along with one of his daughters, 13-year-old Gianna, in a helicopter crash
“In 2006, at age 27, Bryant scored an amazing 81 points in a single game against the Toronto Raptors. Two years later, he earned the league’s Most Valuable Player award, calling the trophy a blessing at the time. At 34, Bryant became the youngest player in NBA history to earn 30,000 career points, edging other scoring greats such as Abdul-Jabar, Chamberlain, Karl Malone and Michael Jordan. He is currently the fourth-highest scorer of all-time in the league.”
(Kareem is the #1 scorer of all time. LeBron should be in the future, if he plays three more seasons.)
