From the pass one, get passed file…
LeBron James became the youngest player to reach 11,000 points in NBA history, passing Kobe Bryant.
James (23 years, 324 days) reached the plateau with a wide-open jump shot set up by a crossover dribble late in the first quarter of the Cavaliers’ game against New Jersey.
Bryant was 25 years, 99 days when he reached 11,000 points.
Against Detroit last Friday, Bryant was the passer. He moved past Larry Bird (21,791 points) for 23rd on the all-time scoring list, and then again in the fourth quarter when he passed Gary Payton (21,813 points) for 22nd.

OK! Listen fellas. I’m going to need an ice tea drink after I address this LeBron James youngest to score past Kobe. While I understand the NBA’s effort to use James as a marketing tool for the league, I must state that the truth and logic ought to applied to the scenario. Let me get straight to it. Lebron is nearly 24 years of age, right? right. He just broke Kobe’s record of reaching 11,00 points the youngest right? right. Ok. I wonder with all the hoopla about James and all that he is accomplishing in passing Kobe as youngest in scoring, if anyone has thought about the real reality that James has only done this a little more a year earlier than Kobe. This is tricky because Kobe really didn’t start starting untill his 3rd year in the league. His first year, Kobe only averaged about 3-4 points a game off the bench. The next year, Kobe averaged 7 points a game off the bench. His third year, Kobe averaged 13 points a game as a starter. His fourth year Kobe averaged 17 points a game as a starter. Then he just blew up and began rounding into what we know him as today. That is four years that Kobe wasn’t scoring even 20 points per game. If you ask me, if James had been drafted by a team that was not so God awful, he would not have surplanted Kobe as the youngest. All I’m trying to say is, nobody in the league can compare to what Kobe has done since cominiing into the league. Take Kobe’s crown from James, and give back to whom it rightfully belongs. One Kobe Bean Bryant.
