Lakers head coach Byron Scott was a teammate of Bryant’s when he scored his first points. He spoke to ESPN.com about witnessing Bryant’s latest acheivement.

“From my standpoint and knowing Kobe like I do, I know he has an extreme amount of respect for MJ,” Scott said. “He’s probably the one guy Kobe wants to pass in a number of categories, and I think rings are one of them as well. I think for him, it will be very significant. It puts him in that category of the greatest players ever in this league.”

For the TimberWolves they are coming off a loss the Oklahoma City Thunder. What has been a struggle for the Wolves so far this season Flip Saunders talked to ESPN.com reporters about giving effort.

“I was happy we finally competed, but it took us a long time to really compete, which was disappointing,” Wolves coach Flip Saunders said.

The Lakers will look for their first three game winning streak tonight as he will be a tough one.
