5 Teams Kobe Bryant has scored the most points against

#3 Sacramento Kings - 1,697 points

The Kings almost landed Kobe in the 1996 draft.

If the Charlotte Hornets hadn't traded their 13th pick to the LA Lakers, Kobe Bryant would most likely have been suiting up for the Sacramento Kings in his rookie year. In what was a move that changed the trajectories of franchises and the league in the coming years, Kobe torched the Sacramento Kings amongst other teams with his offensive firepower.

When he retired in 2016, Kobe Bryant stacked 1,697 points against the Kings, which was his third most among all the 30 franchises. His career average against Sac-town stands at 26.5 points, 5.9 boards and 5.2 dimes per game.

#2 Los Angeles Clippers - 1,720 points

The Clippers have always been hallway rivals to the Lakers. In 2004 and 2007, Kobe Bryant's frustration with the front office almost drove him to sign with the other team in LA. His relationship with Shaquille O'Neal also played a role but eventually the trade did not go through and Kobe remained a Laker till he retired.

In one of his most famous scoring runs, Kobe dropped 40 of his 50 in the second half, after the Clippers prevented him from shooting before the game by reserving the court.

15 years ago today, a pissed Kobe Bryant scored 40 of his 50 PTS in the 2nd half of a win vs the Clippers. He was upset because the Clippers (home team) reserved the floor 2 hours before the game & wouldn't let him do his pregame shooting routine. pic.twitter.com/a9aUaYN6KO

#1 Golden State Warriors - 1,812 points

Mamba out, but not forgotten.

Kobe Bryant tore an Achilles and still limped his way to sinking a couple of free throws. This sequence is as close to the famed Mamba mentality as it gets. The Golden State Warriors have been on the receiving end of some of the greatest on-court Kobe moments.

Kobe Bryant was a seasoned veteran by the time Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were making their way into the spotlight. The twilight of his career coincided with the Warriors' joy run.

Kobe Bryant loved tearing the Golden State Warriors defense apart whenever he could. Against the Dubs, he racked up 1,812 points across his career, averaging 27 points per game, and it's no surprise that some of his best three-point shooting came against Golden State.
