“396 and counting” – Lebron James breaks Kobe Bryant’s record for scoring most points on Christmas day games

Kobe Bryant was one of the most legendary players NBA ever had. He was often referred as the king of Christmas Day Games since he had the most points scored in Christmas in the league’s history. However, his record has been broken by none another than LeBron James in the match against Brooklynn Nets.

Records which Kobe Bryant still holds up to this very day

Kobe Bryant and Lebron James — Kobe Bryant still holds a lot of NBA records

The Black Mamba still holds a lot of records in the league’s history such as being the youngest player to ever participate in the NBA All-star Game, his age was just 19 at that time. He has also been the oldest player to ever score 60 points in a game at the age of 37 and even most points scored in a single game 80.

Bryant had the record for most points scored in Christmas day games. He had scored a total of 395 points in his entire career and only 3 more players in the league have been able to cross the mark of 300 which itself is in a form of achievement.
