prime kobe would not be able to score 81 in a modern game

[King Jane]

defenses got too sophisticated

athletes got better

pace

youtube means more sophisticated scouting reports to expose holes in his game vs his weaker 81 game era

at his peak puts up maybe a 60 point game tops in todays league

you figure he a smaller weaker lebron an the best lebron did in a modern game was 60 thats wat kobe could get at bess but with less rebounds an assists an lower efficiency

Not even going to bother responding about Kobe.

You act like multi-million, sometimes billion-dollar teams rely on youtube to get game footage of players.

[Nikola_]

yes, 2006 was in the 60s

[Quickening]

We are talking about the guy with the most missed shots ever... if you chuck at a ridiculous rate every game you're going to get hot occasionally. I am surprised he didn't have more 70 plus scoring games.

Youtube? What is wrong with you? I feel less intelligent just reading this crap.

[SyRyanYang]

That youtube scouting bit had me giggled but calling Kobe mini-Lebron isn't even funny. They are like the exact opposites.

[ImKobe]

if Melo and Bran can drop 60+ in this era, Kobe can easily drop 80...

Hmmm, this ether is very refreshing, thank you good sir.

[Sarcastic]

Lettuce be reality, with the amount of evolution that humans finna do every year, prime Kobe would not even be able to make the modern league.

I do agree that NBA coaches also had to adapt to new modifications to the rules, but a bad team now is still as bad as the Raptors then.

[HOoopCityJones]

Op's right , he'd score 91 for sure.

Even the most degenerate Kobe hater , like John Hollinger respects the 81 pt game and considers it a better feat than Wilt's 100 pt performance.

[ImKobe]

I do agree that NBA coaches also had to adapt to new modifications to the rules, but a bad team now is still as bad as the Raptors then.

it's not like he dropped 62 in 3 quarters against a 60-win Mavs team, who had the 11th best DRTG and were 7th in ppg allowed and one of the slowest teams in the league in terms of pace :rolleyes:

[scandisk_]

yup he'd score more

85+ perhaps

[IncarceratedBob]

consider that mega scrub dan gallinari just scored 40 yesterday, and tell me that peak kobe couldn't score 81 today

Hold up....Kyrie Irving scored 57 against the Spurs a few weeks ago, but PRIME Kobe Bryant would only score 3 more points if you matched him against a defensively inept squad like the 2006 Raptors were?

[ImKobe]

And are we going to act like Kobe didn't average 35 ppg against the entire league that year and drop 4 straight 50+ pt games the next season?

[Straight_Ballin]

While kobe's 81 doesn't hold a candle to Drob's 71, Kobe would probably score 90 at least one time if he was the same age playing in today's soft era.

[ImKobe]

this is a joke, right? their plan was to let him score as much as possible...kobe dropped 55 in one half to turn a blowout loss into a blowout win.

[DonDadda59]

Bean stans getting a taste of their own advanced defense medicine :oldlol:

Never thought I'd live to see the day :cry:

[clipps]

81 point Kobe would score 100 in this era.

[G0ATbe]

I don't get why people assume he'd automatically score more. Todays era remains strong, as was the era back then. Just depends on who's guarding him. A current LeBald calibre defender? I see 100+.

[greatest-ever]

That was only 9 years ago, you're acting like it happened several decades ago. I don't know if he would if 06 Kobe was put in today's league but that's just because the situation would have to be perfect. He would def be capable if he wanted to and took enough shots. So could he? Sure, would he? Idk.

[kennethgriffin]

people forget that kobe only scored 26 in the first half of that 81 point game


he was taking it easy. kobes been known for shitting 30 in single quarters many times


in all honesty kobes capable of 120 if he was ever actually gunning for a record

[Doranku]

Imagine if prime Kobe played in the current joke of an Eastern Conference. Dude would be dropping 81 every month against those sorry ass teams. :oldlol:

[Badazzwriter]

he would probably score like 90 and average like 37

[Cold soul]

he would probably score like 90 and average like 37

Yup, especially for how much weaker defenses are now and so many shit teams that eastern conference.

[Beastmode88]

Man OP getting rekt.

[Hey Yo]

And are we going to act like Kobe didn't average 35 ppg against the entire league that year and drop 4 straight 50+ pt games the next season?
Avg. 27 FGA including two converted 3 pointers a game. Not that impressive.

[Jacks3]

yeah, averaging 35+/5+/5/2 on 56% TS/114 ORTG isn't impressive at all. :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

Yup, especially for how much weaker defenses are now and so many shit teams that eastern conference.

Defenses are weaker now than in 2006???

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:


FOH

2005-2006 all-time low for defenses... teams adjusting to no handchecking. most 23+ ppg scorers of all time in 2006.

Oh I know. Players are much taller, bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic, and more skilled than those from 10 years ago.

Can you imagine a prime Shaq trying to make the NBA today? He would be bullied right out of the league.

[King Jane]

in 2006 world record 100 was 9,7 today its 9,5

new young athletes evolve and improve over times of old athletes this is nothin new whats better a model t or a buggati veyron?

kobes way of playin is dated by todays standards he will be out of the league soon cause his game has been figured out

you cant hoop the same way forever an expect no one to catch on

now we got guys like westbrook doin things no one ever seen before an his athleticism is off the charts cause hes more evolved he woulda scored 100 in 2006 u bess belee dat

The 100 meter record was set in 2009. What has happened since? Have sprintrs become slower since then?

In 1991 the record for the long jump was 29'-4". Today that is still the record.

The previous record was 29'2" which was established in 1968.

I guess long jumpers have regressed.

You haven't answered my other question...

the 100 meter record was set in 2009. Have sprinters slowed down since then?

I guess the best sprinters ran in 2009. Today's sprinters are far inferior.

The kid shot 48% from the field last year, including 28% from the high-school 3 pt line. He weighs about 210 lbs too. He might be another Manute Bol, if that.

I would EASILY take a prime KG or Dirk any day of the week over this guy.

OP talmbout "modern game". LOL, like it was preshistoric times when Kobe scored 81.

Kobe played in modern times, OP. It's not like he scored that many points in the 1940s. The game hasn't changed since then, only the players became beta as ****.

[NZStreetBaller]

Hed score 96 on current lakers as a 26 year old

This. 96 is such a random number lol

http://www.troll.me/images/patronizing-wiggum/wheres-your-messiah-now.jpg

haha this.

Same thing I was thinking, the f*ckin irony.

Back on topic, prime Kobe would be dropping 40 points on a regular basis today. if he gets into that zone again he'd be able to drop 81 again (granted it was a once in a lifetime game).

Kobe is superior than Harden and hands down still the best offensive scorer today even sitting down recovering. If he comes back next season, Mamba has a legit chance of dropping a few 40 point games.

[coin24]

Kobes footwork and offensive arsenal is still miles ahead of most of the players in todays game..
Prime mid 00s Kobe would destroy the league right now..


All these bums are going off for 50 this season :oldlol: Prime Kobe would probably beat his own NBA record 81.. (Wilts bs 100 doesnt count)
