During a 118-115 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant drilled a fadeaway jumper off the glass for his 33,000th career point, becoming the third player - and youngest ever - to reach that milestone.

Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and Karl Malone (36,928) have scored more than "The Black Mamba," who now has 33,010 over his legendary 20-year career.

The NBA recently posted a fascinating infographic depicting how many points Bryant has dropped on every team in the Association, with the Golden State Warriors owning the distinction of being the 17-time All-Star's biggest victim:

The Warriors - a Pacific Division neighbor of the Lakers - weren't always the championship-caliber squad they currently are, with the franchise failing to reach the 40-win mark from 1996 (the year Bryant was drafted) until 2007 when they returned to the postseason for the first time since 1994. This would help explain Bryant's career-best 27.6 points per game average against the team, as well as his 10 40-point nights.

Teams in the East clearly bring up the rear on the list, as they're only squaring off with the Lakers on two occasions every season. The Toronto Raptors have allowed the most points to Bryant from the conference, however, including an 81-point night in 2006 - the second-most points by a player in one game ever.
