Kobe needs to score 592 points this season to catch Jordan. If he averages 13.83 points this season — his average last season — then he’ll pass Jordan on January 21 in the Lakers’ game at New Orleans. If he averages 20 points, he’ll reach the mark the day after Christmas at Dallas. If he maintains his career average of 25.46 points per game, then he’ll pass Jordan on December 14 at Minnesota. And finally, if he puts up 81 points per game this season (because, well, why not?), then he’ll overtake Jordan for third on the all-time list on November 12 when the Lakers visit the Pelicans.
