Step aside, Shaq.

Only four players in NBA history can now say they've hit more shots than Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant.

The 17-time All-Star passed Shaquille O'Neal for fifth all time in field goals made Friday night on the road against the Sacramento Kings, hitting an uncontested putback off the backboard to move ahead of his former Lakers teammate.
