Andrew Wiggins is not the next Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan at all, but it was fitting that Bryant passed Michael Jordan for third on the all-time scoring list in front of the NBA’s next big thing.
Bryant passed the GOAT in a calm fashion, hitting a pair of free throws in the second quarter of the Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves to give him 32,293 career points, surpassing Jordan.
LeBron James was the first to congratulate Bryant.
Congrats Bean! @kobebryant #ThirdAllTime #LivingLegend
