Who is the highest scoring player in NBA?
For all you people out there that would say Kobe Bryant you may be right but only cus one reason.... he's been in the league way longer than wade and lebron James... Kobe is one of the most over-rated player ever to play the game of basketball, i mean come on people ever time he won a championship he had either the greatest center in the world on his team shaq and after shaq left they got the great gasol. Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of gasol but he's actually not that bad. Lebron in about 5 or 6 years will be the best scorer in the nba and possible the best of all time to ever play the game... peace im out
