Kobe Bryant scores 61 points against Knicks in Madison Square Garden

No, actually Wilt has the record, since he scored 60+ twice at an older age than Kobe. Also, Tom Chambers was a few months older when he went for 60.

Having said that, Bynum's injury, the level of some of the following opponents and the fact that Kobe usually is at his hottest during January-February will surely provide him with some chances to have additional huge scoring nights, so stay tuned.

[QUOTE=kidachi]what? you've never heard the 99 point night of Jordan? he did it in 15mins.[/QUOTE]

kobe has 5 60+ games.:eek:
:bowdown:[/QUOTE]
Kobe 27/5.5/5
Wade 28.5/5/7
Lebron 28/7.5/7.5

Now I'm no Kobe hater, but given the stats above...is there a RATIONAL explanation why Kobe is so much better than the other guys to you? I think Kobe's production would be better with a worse team, 30/6/5 sound realistic to me. But that doesn't put him above Wade and James in terms of production and impact on a game.
So for a guy like me who doesn't support a winning team or a top 3 player, why should I believe that Kobe is miles above Wade and Lebron?

[QUOTE=243354]Kobes the Oldest player to score 60 points. Only player over 30 to score 60.

has the most 60 point games for 1 player since 1968 (40 years).

kobe - 5

jordan - 4

rest of the players that scored 60+ since 1968 tied with 1.

i hope you realize--i know you don't, you a blind homer, but i can only dream--that 61 vs D'Antoni's Knicks is not better than 50+ vs Riley's Knicks.

lmao @ all the haters.

Integrity of the game? HAHA, get the eff outta here.

Fact: Kobe Bryant holds the record for the most points scored in the Garden.

Deal with it. No one is saying he's this or that, just that he had a great game.

Man, I can't imagine the type of crazy statlines Lebron, Kobe, or Wade would be putting up if they decide to sign with the Knicks. I don't think +60 to +80 point games 4 or 5 times a year would really be far-fetched.

yep, it's Kobe haters/Jordan fans that brought the whole MJ vs Kobe into the discussion

BTW, for all the numbnut retards here bashing Kobe, there was a game on ESPN Classic a while back, Larry Legend in the 80s going against some team. Less than a minute left, Celtics up big, and the Celtics WERE FOULING the other team so Larry could hit the 60 point mark.

Some of you guys need to take your medication and realize that this is only a game. If Kobe is good enough to score at will against a team, then he better do that ****. If he's shooting 50% or better, KEEP SHOOTING THE DAMN BALL.

Appreciate this. Other players can do great things, no need to **** on a Kobe thread.

I think both of these factions are playing a meaningless game of back and forth... Both of these players have put forward a number of great efforts. Instead of comparing their games and downplaying the accomplishments of one player or another, we should simply marvel at what they have been able to accomplish and leave it at that.

Da_Realist, those were some excellent games on Jordan's part, and you made a good point concerning the level of competition Jordan was facing when he played those games, but if we're going to downplay accomplishments, one could easily point out that Jordan lost 3 of those 5 games in which he scored 60+ and that he was less efficient in those 5 60+ point games than Bryant has been in his 5 60+ point games, while averaging fewer points...

Understand that there is always a response... always a come back. This foolishness needs to stop. There are a few Bryant groupies here who have knowingly made provocative statements looking to bait other posters. Those posters should be ignored. After awhile, don't you guys get tired of the same arguments?

The Bulls won 3 of those 5 not lose them. But I agree with you. I think Jordan's was more impressive then Kobe's cause of the teams he played, but whatever. I don't see why Jordan supporters really still feel the need to come and defend Jordan over Kobe. Jordan vs. Kobe should've never been an argument in the first place, and it definitely should not be after what happened last year.

Fellow Jordan fans, I don't know why any of you feel the need to get into these arguments when Jordan's combination of accomplishments/skills/intangibles pretty much trumps Kobe's, and Kobe would really need a miracle at this point of his career to surpass him. One more 60+ point game isn't going to change that. Just appreciate Kobe for what he is, and that is an amazing player.

if anyone other than Kobe dropped that 61, there would not be any such fuss. It would just be high praise...and deservedly so.

Right. Look at who the "MJ>Kobe" posts are replying to. It's not what GTS wrote (which I agree with) -- about how it's an entertaining performance that we should all just enjoy. It's the posts that say, "[I]Kobe scored 61. Oldest to score 60. Kobe > MJ. Kobe is GOAT[/I] :pimp: " that generate all the responses.

When you call out the dogs, don't get upset when you get bit. And for those that complain about the responses...why? Why do you care? Go to the Lakers forum where they are sure to appreciate it. Or don't click on the obvious "Kobe > MJ" or "MJ > Kobe" links. It's that simple.

I guarantee that if Arenas or Lebron or Ginobli scored 78 points and their fans said so-and-so > MJ, there would be some discussions. It's not just Kobe. Kobe fans just call out the dogs more than other fans.

Start a thread that says, "Bird > MJ", I guarantee there will be 300 responses by the end of the week. Look up any thread that does a comparison and you will have a ton of responses. Look up "Kobe > Bird" for instance.

The only reason Kobe generates more responses when he plays well is because his fans want to compare him more often than most other fans.

You convinently failed to mention that the Mavericks weren't just a mere Playoff team, but competed for the NBA Finals that season, and were top ranked in team defense I believe that year. But that is without a doubt his best scoring game as a pro.

Everything else is dead on accurate.

The only other context you could bring into the conversation to make the playing field some what more leveled is by asking how many of those 60 point games came in overtime?

Kobe's only had one that came with an extra period, that being the Portland game. MJ, his Celtics performance, Magic performance, Cleveland performance all came with extra periods. So while yes, MJ is more impressive in that he did it in meaningful games, against stiff and/or great competition he also did it with extra time on the clock. Kobe, most of his performances coming against weak competition, still put up huge numbers in regulation, sometimes even sitting out huge chunks of time in said games. Kobe deserves some praise for that, does he not?

[QUOTE=MaxFly] but if we're going to downplay accomplishments, one could easily point out that Jordan lost 3 of those 5 games in which he scored 60+ [/QUOTE]

Playing better teams will do that to you. The average record of teams which Kobe has scored 50+ on is something like 39-43. The average record of teams he's scored 40+ on in the last 4 seasons is even worse (like 37-45).

Every time I think Kobe lost his outside shooting touch he goes off. Hope he goes for 100 one time.
