Kobe Bryant will attempt to pass Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list tonight when his Los Angeles Lakers visit the defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs (9:30 ET, ESPN). Bryant needs 31 points to pass Jordan, whose 32,292 points rank behind only Karl Malone (36,928) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387).

Since entering the NBA in 1996, Bryant – aka “The Black Mamba” – has appeared on numerous ESPN platforms in a variety of ways. Front Row revisits some of those moments in the photo gallery above.
