Kobe needs to average 30.4 points per game the last 19 games this season and 82 games next year to eclipse Jordan for 3rd on the all time scoring list.
More likely, Kobe averages 29 points over the last 19 games, making his career total 29768 which is 1651 behind Kareem at 4th and 2524 behind Jordan at 3rd.
Then, with 25 ppg in 12/13, his total becomes 31818, 474 points behind Jordan.
Then, with 23 ppg in 13/14, his total becomes 33704, pushing him in front of Jordan and 3224 points behind Malone.
Then, in what will probably be his last good season, Kobe averages 20 ppg and his total becomes 35344, 1584 points behind Malone.
amazing how you do all those calculations lol
