was appreciative after passing Jerry West to become the Lakers' all-time scoring leader, calling it a "great honor". Bryant scored 44 points to become the all-time leading scorer for the Lakers. What next for Kobe Bryant? He considers Abdul-Jabbar's NBA record is within reach if he plays long enough. Time will be the final judge, as always, but Bryant said he would "probably" be able to do it. Abdul-Jabbar had 38,387 in 20 seasons before retiring a few months before his 42nd birthday. Lakers Coach Phil Jackson thought Bryant was distracted by trying to break the record. Jackson said the record was "not important" and that the win would have been more important. He was going to get that record regardless. Which is very true but congrats to Kobe.
