In a win over the New Orleans
Hornets Pelicans, Kobe Bean Bryant netted 29 points and became the youngest player to reach 30,000 points after his 13th point of the night (he has 30,016 as of tonight). And not only is he the youngest to 30,000, but he's also only the 5th player to ever do it (Wilt, Jordan, Malone, and Kareem are the others).
Welp, only 2,276 more to catch Jordan.
