Bryant becomes youngest to 24,000 : Kobe Bryant scored 41 points while becoming the youngest player to reach 24,000, leading the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers to a 114-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. Bryant carried the Lakers while reaching his latest scoring milestone 38 days before Wilt Chamberlain did. With a second-half surge, he even overtook Grizzlies guard Allen Iverson for 16th place on the NBA's career scoring list. Before punctuating his night with two beautiful fallaway jumpers in the final two minutes, Bryant became the 17th NBA player to scored 24,000 points on a second-quarter basket. At 31 years, 75 days old, Bryant needed every bit of his head start from skipping college to beat Chamberlain to the mark.

Fantasy Analysis

Bryant has scored exactly 41 points for the third time in four games, giving him 99 career 40-point games. We have no clue what happened to him on Oct. 30 against Dallas. He only managed 20 points in that game and has scored at least 31 in every other game this year. Bryant should be active in 100 percent of Fantasy leagues almost every week regardless of matchups.
