“It’s a huge honor to say the least [of joining the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.] Whenever you’re hearing those kind of names and you think about the amount of players that have played this game and to be in that kind of company, it’s always extremely, extremely special.” — Kobe Bryant reflecting on reaching 30,000 points [image, via]

29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists for Kobe.

And if his teammates didn’t miss so many open jumpers, I think he could’ve had a triple-double.
