Lakers Kobe Bryant Named Western Conference Player of the Month

By | February 3, 2012|

After being named to his 14th straight All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant followed it up by being named the Western Conference Player of the Month for, yes, the 14th time in his career.

In his 16th season, the Black Mamba is leading the league with a 30.0 points per game average along with 6.1 rebounds and 5.5. assists.

This has definitely been a great start to the season for Kobe’s personal records as he became the oldest player to ever score 40 points or more in a game, broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s franchise record in field goals made, broke Jerry West’s record for free throws made and then topped it off by becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 28,000 points.

Coming up next is taking over Shaquille O’Neal on the  NBA All-time scoring list.
