Kobe Bryant most likely to pass Michael Jordan in points Dec. 12 against Spurs

It is a tough time to be a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, who have won one game this season and offer an on-court product that even Jack Nicholson isn’t interested in watching.

But there is a bright side: Kobe Bryant will soon be passing Michael Jordan for most points over a career.

Despite the heavy usage, Bryant is averaging 27.3 points per game but on just 37.7 percent shooting – a career low if it stands. However, the Simple Projection System has him closer to 23.7 points per game on 44.5 percent shooting, so we will use that projection to figure out which game he is most likely to pass Jordan for third in all-time points.
