"Kobe Bryant needs to score 30 points tonight in order to reach the 25,000-point milestone for his career. Only 14 players in league history have scored that many points, none have done it at Bryant's age (31 years, 148 days).
What's more, Bryant is closing in on Jerry West's franchise record of 25,192 points. Barring an injury or illness, he could reach it while the Lakers are on their upcoming eight-game trip, which begins Thursday at Cleveland."
