didnt jordans 69 come in double overtime
give kobe 2 overtimes and he breaks wilts 100
[QUOTE=KOBE143]LOL at all the Kobe haters..
A normal person even without common sense can tell you that 81 >>> 69.. :facepalm at all the Jordan stans that can even do a simple math.. They always think that Jordan is the best in everything.. Honestly Im also a Jordan fan but [B]Kobe 81 points was better than Jordan 69 pts and its not even close.. Kobe did it in the toughest defensive era while Mike in the weakest/no defense era..[/B]Both were impressive tho and I appreciate it as two of the best scoring performance of all time.. Kobe at #1, maybe Mike at#10.. :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
You were actually kinda sorta going good until the bold. The Raptors were an awful defensive team. They had a DRtg of 113.7 that year.
[QUOTE=TheMarkMadsen]I think people are overlooking the fact that Jordan's game went to overtime.
If Kobe's game goes to OT chances are he gets 100.[/QUOTE]
:facepalm
Who cares if it went into OT, he still shot 9 more times than Jordan, the only way this argument holds weight is if Jordan shot more than Kobe
[QUOTE=kennethgriffin]didnt jordans 69 come in double overtime

:facepalm
It was one overtime, and took less shot attempts than Kobe with and extra period
Wasn't Kobe 7 points from scoring 69 in 3 qtr against the WCF champions?
[QUOTE=Magic 32]Wasn't Kobe 7 points from scoring 69 in 3 qtr against the WCF champions?[/QUOTE]
Yes.. And according to Kobe hater logic in this thread 62>69 because Kobe took less shots
[QUOTE=xxxSuperStar]We all know Kobe scored 81, but take a look at Kobe's 81 point game vs. Jordan's 69 point game vs the Cavs on 3/28/90
Kobe 81 points (28-46 63% shooting), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steal, 1 block, 3 turnover
Jordan 69 points(23-37 62% shooting), [SIZE="5"]18 rebounds, 6 assists[/SIZE], 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers
Which is more impressive? I have to say Jordans. 18 rebounds while scoring 69 points is unheard of.
BTW, this game is on ESPN classic for you younger whippersnappers who have no idea how good Jordan was. Actually, there ESPN classic is running great NBA games all day today.[/QUOTE]
:eek:
doing what it takes to win... getting it all in the flow, not padding stats or gunning to score a specific number.
And MJ did it on the road vs a good team, as opposed to doing it at home vs one of the worst teams in the league.
I'm more impressed with Kobe's 64 vs the Mavs in three quarters than his 81-point game.

this is all true.
if an alien came to earth and wanted to see the top 50 players of all time - and once all gathered, they asked "ok, which guy can get the hottest?"
kobe wins that one... there's going to be some awful shooting nights and severe inefficiency in between, but when he DOES get hot, no one got hotter... :confusedshrug:
Simple:
Kobe had the greater scoring game (slightly, 9 more shots against the 2nd worst defensive team in the NBA), MJ had the better overall game.

Very true.
Completely agree with the last part.

Lets just completely ignore the fact that the Mavs made the finals
[QUOTE=MaxFly]Bryant's 81 was more impressive offensively, but it's obvious that Jordan's was the better all around game.[/QUOTE]
offence not just scores :hammerhead:
[QUOTE=RidonKs]I agree. 200 points, 85 rebounds, 60 assists, it's all child's play for MJ. He could hit a 6 pointer if he wanted to, he just doesn't want to show anyone up.[/QUOTE]
But players in the 90s weren't as evolved as today's humans :confusedshrug:
