Kobe Bryant recorded his 32,000th career-point in a 114-109 LA Lakers road win against the Hawks with this turnaround jumper plus the foul. Per ESPN:
“Well, it means a lot,” Bryant said. “I can’t stress how much work it is just to be in this position, to be able to get out there and play. It’s a lot of work, man. And over 19 years, that’s really where I take enjoyment from it, is the process. It’s a lot of work over 19 years. It feels good to be able to have that accomplishment.”
This now places Kobe just 291 points behind Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list and makes him the fourth NBA player to reach the 32,000 point plateau.
