Kobe Bryant scores 61 points against Knicks in Madison Square Garden

34 points, 13/20 from the field, 100% from the stripe, 3/5 from 3...

And there is still a half to play...

Ladies and gentlemen take out your opossums because the Black Mamba is back!

Kobe Bryant has broken Jordan's MSG visiting scorer record at 61 points.

Bryant put up this on 19/31 shooting with 50% from the perimeter and 100% from the line going on 20/20!

Most players won't end the night with 34 points. Kobe does it before the third quarter.

Kobes being Kobe. Sending a message that no matter if Bynum is down he s still Kobe. Smart on Kobes end... It puts the doubt in some writers

thats wat kobe does. he steps up when he needs to. w/ no bynum for 3 months lakers are gonna need guys to step up. odom of corse already doing his thing.

Broke Jordan's record :eek:

furious at his own involvement in Bynum's injury, I guess we could have guessed Kobe would take it out on the Knicks...

KOBE 61 points, Pau 31 points.........WOW!!!!!!

Which Jordan record?

[QUOTE=TheGreatDeraj]Which Jordan record?[/QUOTE]

Most points scored in the Garden by an opponent.

Kobe: 61
Jordan: 55

[QUOTE=TheGreatDeraj]Which Jordan record?[/QUOTE]
most points in MSG

Open question.

Do you guys believe Kobe will continue to take 25+ shots per game now that Bynum is gone or will he revert back to pass first Kobe?

I think this was a special case.

I'll DL this game later but only if it's the Knick announcers. The LA ones will be all over Kobe's balls and it will be unbearable.

Twenty-five shots and tons of 40 point games.

Congrats on scoring 60+ on a D'antoni team in the regular season. Great accomplishment, regardless of the critics who ask why this doesn't happen in the playoffs.

I remember that game where both MJ and Scottie had 40+ each versus the Pacers. I do not know if they eclipsed 90 though. Great game tonight by Kobe, wish I went to the game. Me and a co-worker talked about going, but we would have had to get scalped tickets for 100+ at least :(

Jordan scored 55pts on New York Knicks, on his 5th game back from retirement, wearing #45.

Jordan scored 55pts against the tough New York Knicks, whom finished the season with a 55-27 record, featuring Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, John Starks, 6th man of the year Anthony Mason...

well, it;s still amazing Kobe scored 61pts with such a great performance...
but i think Jordan's 55pts is a better performance.

Here you go fella.

probably Kobe's 81 point game. Smush had 13.

i think you mean historic, kobe's shooting % was better with 5 or 6 less shots.

i had 2 sets of tickets and sold them on ebay and stub hub :banghead:

[QUOTE=konex]Ok, with one guy getting at least 20 :no:[/QUOTE]

Just checked D-Rob's 71 point game in 93-94. Nobody else on SA even scored in double digits that night. Tonight's game by Kobe/Gasol could be a league first(Wilt's night excluded).

[QUOTE=Ja2l]probably Kobe's 81 point game. Smush had 13.[/QUOTE]
:oldlol:
I'm sure one of Wilt's teammates had at least 1 point that night he dropped 100.

:applause: Kobe... 61.. thats crazy..

It really is Bryant and Smush Parker... 94 points... :confusedshrug:

Wow sick game KB. How many shots? and what was his %?

[QUOTE=Mdog1]Wow sick game KB. How many shots? and what was his %?[/QUOTE]
31 shots 61% in 36 minutes.

[QUOTE=Showtime]Congrats on scoring 60+ on a D'antoni team in the regular season. Great accomplishment, regardless of the critics who ask why this doesn't happen in the playoffs.[/QUOTE]

:oldlol:

^ D'antoni thinks defense is de thing outside de house with de gate, but still a great performance. Kobe is the best streak scorer I've seen. When he's on, he's unstoppable.

[QUOTE=barbaroi]31 shots 61% in 36 minutes.[/QUOTE]
Wow that is sick. 61 on 31 is hella efficient. Kobe is really killing it right now. Second in the league, but for how long?

and he did this with only 3 fingers in his shooting hand.

btw. Gasol had a great great game also 31, 14, 5 @ 70%

Wow ....... 92 points by only two players. That's crazy!!! :eek:

[QUOTE=Kappy]Wow ....... 92 points by only two players. That's crazy!!! :eek:[/QUOTE]

Is that the record. What was the Most Jordan and Pippen did together combined

Coach Pringles "hands on" approach to the kobe problem tonight.

"He's gonna come back down to earth, guys."

Third quarter:
"We created an offensive machine."
"If he doesn't come back down, we'll all just go home"

[QUOTE=243354]61 points in 37 minutes and he could have easily had more if not for that idiot phil jackson. only wilt has more career 60+ games. kobe now has 5 total.:applause:
24 50+ games:applause:
95+ games :applause:

the G.O.A.T :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:[/QUOTE]
The GOAT regular season streak scorer. I agree.

[QUOTE=lilojmayo]Is that the record. What was the Most Jordan and Pippen did together combined[/QUOTE]

This was on another thread. Looks like "84"!

Bulls vs. Pacers - Jordan 44pts, Pippen 40pts, Rodman 23rbds

Seriously guys. Imagine if jordan played a dantoni team like that. he would DESTROY them.

[QUOTE=243354]no, the goat scorer.:bowdown:
nobody can get hot and totally demoralize opponents like kobe.:bowdown:

The G.O.A.T :bowdown:[/QUOTE]
You see, this is the type of post that lead people to bring up his lack of scoring domination in the playoffs, at which time people call those comments "hate" and how the MJ homers can't stay out of a Kobe thread. Stop making comments like these, and there would be no reason to bring up Kobe's lack of dominating scoring in the playoffs.

Yeah, nobody can get hot and totally demoralize regular season teams with bad defense like Kobe. It's a different story against top defensive teams in the playoffs.
