Kobe is 20th on this list. If the leader, Richard Jefferson, took as many shots per game as Kobe, he would be averaging almost 44 points per game.

As a pre-emptive rebuttal, I know this is not entirely fair. Kobe is the only viable scoring option on his team, thus he must take more shots, which means more difficult/lower percentage shots, hence skewing the stats against Kobe and other players who are surrounded by a less-than-stellar ensemble.

Regardless, I find this statistic interesting.

Am I the only one who couldn't give a shit less about this? I hate Kobe Bryant. He's always been a smug, spoiled brat. He didn't grow up on the streets. He grew up wealthy and conceited.

Look at the front page of ESPiN (I know, and I'm sorry). "Kobe Bryant LXXXI managed to overshadow Super Bowl XL." Bullshit.

The media has been trying to hype up Kobe for years, and it's never worked. Even before the alleged rape. Several years ago, Kobe played in an all-star game in which he was the leading scorer, and he was getting booed every time he touched the ball.

I would have been happy for any other player in the NBA, Michigan alumni excepted. But I don't care at all about this.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I started hating Kobe the second he decided which teams would draft him. That's Major League Bull Shit right there.

So I guess now would be the time to admit that you are biased against Kobe and can't look at his 81-point performance objectively?

Bottom Line: If you can't respect this peformance, Kobe is never going to convince you that he's a top-shelf player and one of the greatest to play the game. Sure, the guy's a fucking prick. But so was John Elway. And no one is going to dispute his place in history.

I'll give you 3 years to point out where I denied that Kobe was a great basketball player. In fact, I'll give you 3 more to see if I said I wasn't impressed with it.

Reading comprehension goes a long way.

 

[Jeffcat]

i hate kobe bryant but i have to give him respect here. scoring 81 points against any professional team is insane. try to imagine what that would take from yourself to score 81 points in one game. iverson, wade, and kobe have an incredible ability to score and people cant stop them. i dont buy that the nba is a bad defensive league because this days players pull off a faster paced game full of skilled shooters everywhere. you see some of the stuff they do and it boggles your mind how anybody could possibly stop them.

try playing defense maybe?

So you're impressed with a performance that you have argued is diminished because it happened in a league you say plays no defense and against one of the worst teams in the league.

Yeah, I guess I can't see where I was confused about whether you thought it was a great performance.

 

[jwinslow]

now we get to hear about how kobe's performance was possibly the greatest in any sport, despite not being the best in his sport. Bryant apparently replaced the celtics, as it was him against the hornets during the entire highlight. It won't surprise me if they do that for another week or two.

just for once, I'd love for sportscenter to try doing an show where 5 things aren't the greatest ever, they don't giggle like school girls after at least a dozen jokes by the other anchor, and they cover sports rather than soap operas. Somehow I think people would still tune in.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

The thing about it is, that he took 46 fuckin' shots.

Most people could put up that many points taking 46 shots.

I am pretty sure that if LBJ ever took 46 shots in a game and the free throws to go with it that he could put up a number like that.

The way I honestly look at is like a video game. When you are playing with a guy that is real good, so you just take him one on one all game forcing shots b/c they play good d sometimes but making the fair share of them.

I also love the fact that they were down in the game to the raptors. I know they didnt lose b/c Kobe brought them back, but it is the sheer fact that he had to bring them back.

Kobe better start looking for his teammates, b/c eventually he is going to run into better defenders and he isnt going to know what to do.

Here's where ESPN might have it right though. Ignoring the subjective qualities of the performance for a second, 81 points is the second most ever all time in a pro basketball game. 81 points a lot of points. I can't seem to get around the number 81. 81818181818181. Stop it!!!

The thing about it is, that he took 46 fuckin' shots.

The amazing thing is though that the Raptors knew it the whole time and still couldn't stop it. The guy has 2 assists all game. He's not passing the ball to those stiffs on that team. And they knew it.

Wilt shot the ball 63 times. And no one questions his performance. Didn't then. And don't now.


It deserves to be talked about as one of the greatest performances of all time. Just because ESPN exaggerates a lot, does not mean they exaggerate all the time.

But the thing about it is, that who cares. It was in the middle of the season against the Toronto Raptors. I would rather have soemone that puts up 30 in a finals game and hits that game winning shot than a performacne of 81 pts. when you took more than have the teams shots.

I will agree that 81 pts is crazy, but not overly impressive under the circumstances.

And by no means is it one of the greatest performances of all times in sports. Not even in the top 100.

How about the part where I said I wasn't OVERLY impressed.....OVERLY being emphasized to note that while I was impressed since 81 is such a big number, I wasn't "OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANT KOBE TO HAVE MY BABY" impressed like you seem to be.

Again, reading comprehension is your friend.

Here is a report from Jordan's highest game. You will see that it was in OT and he also 9 less shots.

He also posted a career high in rebounds in the same game and he added 6 assists 4 more than Kobe, and it looks like he played some D as well as he had 4 steals.

Also as it says it was a game where that they needed to clinch the playoffs. So the game meant something, and the Cavs were a good team.

ICHFIELD, Ohio -- Michael Jordan scored 69 points tonight, the ninth-highest total in National Basketball Association history, as Chicago beat Cleveland by 117-113 in overtime and clinched a spot in the playoffs.

Jordan made 23 of 37 field-goal attempts and 21 of 23 foul shots. He also had a career-high 18 rebounds, plus 6 assists and 4 steals.
It was the fourth time Jordan had scored more than 60 points. His previous career high was 63 against Boston in the 1986 playoffs. He also scored 61 twice in 1987.
"This would have to be my greatest game," Jordan said. "When I scored 63 against Boston, we lost. It sure feels a lot better."
Only three players have scored more points than Jordan: Wilt Chamberlain, who did it six times (100, 78, 73, 73, 72, 70); David Thompson (73), and Elgin Baylor (71).
Jordan, who was averaging 33 points a game, scored 16 in the first quarter, 15 in the second, 20 in the third, 10 in the fourth and 8 in overtime. "He's one in a million, one in a billion," said John Williams, a Cleveland forward.
