Many Kobe Bryant super-fans feel as though there is nothing LeBron James could do to usurp his standings on the best of all-time list. Even though LeBron holds most statistical advantages over Bryant, there was always the counter of Kobe being a better scorer, as he is third in total points.

However, the key word in that sentence is was. Last night, with a layup in the third quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers, LeBron James passed Bryant for third on the all-time scoring list. While this is just one milestone, this is clearly an important one to Bryant fans, and now they have no more talking points to prove LeBron is inferior.

LeBron was also incredibly efficient in his passing of Kobe, so much though that he could miss 3,000 shots in a row and still have a higher field goal percentage over the course of his NBA career. But, you won't see Bryant fans talking about that, will you?

As Bryant said himself, he bleeds purple and gold. Right now, so does LeBron, and he's proving he'll go down as one of the best to don the jersey ever.
