Scoring 50+ points like its going out of style

:bowdown: :bowdown:

[OldSchoolBBall]

Note the ridiculous midrange jumper even at that age, well beyond any perimeter player today save for Kobe. Dude was something like 15-17 FG in the first half for 32 points against two excellent defenders. Unreal.

6:25.....hilariously bad officiating

kobe's midrange is overrated, if his midrange is as good as MJ's then his efg% would be like MJ too

Ok...Kobe is Better than MJ Right? At What?

[Kurosawa0]

Why do people insist on trying to push Kobe and LeBron next to MJ? Both are great, but neither are as good as Jordan was. Someday we'll see a better player, but for now, just enjoy these guys for being one of the best.

While Kobe had only one 40+ point finals game, Jordan averaged 41 ppg for entire series in 1993 Finals.

Jordan played in 35 games in NBA Finals and had;
50+ point game 1 time.
40+ point game 6 times.
30+ point game 23 times.
Never had a 20 or less point game.
Highest scoring game: 55
Lowest scoring game: 22

Bryant played in 37 games in NBA finals and had;
Never had a 50 or more point game.
40+ point game 1 time.
30+ point game 13 times.
20- point game 8 times.
Highest scoring game: 40
Lowes scoring game: 8 (actually 2 but he had an injury early in that game, played 9 mins only)

You're a proven idiot sir. Have a good day.:oldlol:

[Linspired]

only reason jordan didn't score 81pt in his career is because he never jacked up so many 3's in a game. to score 81, you would have to make alot of 3's for sure. Kobe made 7 3's when he scored 81.

MJ's 69pt game he made 2 3pters. if he made 7 3pters MJ would've scored 74. and MJ attempted 37 fga. kobe jacked it up 46 times.

and yes, 69/18/6/4stls > 81/6/2/3

[Segatti]

Sometimes I fell late 80's and 90's defenses are overrated.

Staggering game.

I think people forget he shot 21/27 (.778 from the field) and only attempted one 3-pointer (a miss) to score 59 points. Insane efficiency. TS% .834.

[KOBE143]

Was that the best defensive team that Jordan faced in the 80s? Not suprising why Mike can scored that many points.. Even Bobcats can play better defense than them.. :lol

Dude

He's sitting on a purple and gold dildo as he types on ISH, all the time.

I would be pissy too with the greatest franchise is in basketball, that steals other franchises talent, has had a ton of lineage of great players and STILL hasn't had the best to ever lace them up play for his squad.

:oldlol:

Stay salty my Laker slut friends.

Unfortunately what you always see in highlight vids is the made basket. What you rarely see is the play developing. You rarely see him trying to get open, him being held, being bumped, the double teaming when he doesn't have the ball.

But even then, we still see him face double and triple teams, we see him split possible traps, we see him split defenders, we see him hit tough shots from different angles, we see him quickly read the defense and blow by defenders.

It is the 'decisions' that he makes with the ball that make the defense look bad. It isn't as if the defense isn't concentrating on him. He just happens to beat them over and over again. They tried about 4 different players on him that game, they tried forcing him to different sides of the court, they tried trapping him, they tried timing and confusing him with traps, but it didn't work. He just read, reacted and executed.

We get to see exactly why MJ was better than Kobe in this vid.

He made smart, quick decisions without hesitating or settling for forced jumpers.

You put way too much effort into that post, looking at who you quoted.

Exactly. He has AS MANY 50 point playoff games as Sleepy Floyd.

But accordingto the Laker slut community, and Kobe stans he's the greatest scorer of all-time.

In meaningless regular season games being defended on ISOs by ancient Jalen Rose, and Mo Peterson of course

:oldlol:

That's what's known as an "Old Schooler" post. He's not posting it for the guy he quoted, but to educate the readers who might check out the thread. Trolls sometimes make great post to have an excuse to educate. I think that's why Jlauber posted the way he did.

Correct.

At times the myths and lies have to be corrected. I know the poster I was replying to won't change his mind, but somebody will gain something from it. At the very least they'll try to do their own research instead of just believing his nonsense.

[AlphaWolf24]

wow..watching that video seem's so dated....

just reminds us all how Kobe's game is so much more asthetically pleasing.
