Kobe Bryant surpassed Michael Jordan for third all time on the scoring list. For some reason, this gives Black Mamba stans a reason to claim he's the greatest basketball player ever, a title arguably held by MJ.
Luckily, most of the nation doesn't think Kobe is the GOAT. They would place somewhere in the top 10, which I agree with. But the GOAT? Not a chance.
2 percent of the United States, however, thinks so. Take a look at this SportsNation poll:

Kobe is definitely one of the greatest ever. He's the second greatest shooting guard in NBA history. He's not better than MJ, though, but that's not really a bad thing. Being an all time great isn't bad company.
