Lakers News: LeBron James ‘Looked Up’ To Kobe Bryant For Coming To NBA Straight Out Of High School

In Year 17, LeBron James has seemingly been etching his name in the records books on a nightly basis with the Los Angeles Lakers.

James, in his second season donning the purple and gold, has already hit some career milestones such as moving up on the NBA’s all-time assists and made field goals list.

However, most of the chatter in the past week has been about his place atop the all-time scoring list. James currently sits at fourth but is very close to passing Kobe Bryant for third, which of course in Los Angeles is a big deal given the latter’s legendary status within team history.
