Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points against the NY Knicks and Kobe scoring 81 points against Toronto Raptors, the top 2 most points ever scored.

Which is more impressive in your opinion and why?

Will these records ever be surpassed?

Why hasn't LeBron or MJ or Curry ever gotten 81 points in a game. How did Kobe do it

I know with Wilt Chamberlain, a lot of things went in his favor, such as very poor defense in opposition, constant fouls, team mates had the goal of just passing the ball to him, being on for the whole game etc

It's just like asking who did ball-hogging better between those two.

To be fair to Wilt.... Arizin, Baylor, and West always put up great numbers. Wilt was successful because of second options...Kobe just went crazy

Wilt's teams also became better once he started to score lesser.
