Re: Kobe Bryant scoring facts
[QUOTE=AlphaWolf24]oh yeah...how many 40 point playoff games did Larry Legend have??:lol[/QUOTE]
Basketball Reference only goes back to '91 for playoff games. But in the '88 season, Bird did it 11 times in 76 games(1 in 7) and 6 times in 74 games(1 in 12.3) in '87.

He's borderline. You have MJ, Kareem, Wilt, Bird, Magic, Russell, Shaq, Dream, and Duncan. Jerry West can also be ranked above Kobe.

I'd remember watching that game.
Kobe was hitting everything.
Re: Kobe Bryant scoring facts
Has anyone broke down all those 40 + point games to the years ?
My point is - were those the years he got a ring , or was the majority of those 40+ point games non ring bearing years ?
Re: Kobe Bryant scoring facts
I am so glad to have been able to watch one of the NBA's greatest players his entire career.
I was excited as a young kid to find out the hyped young stud out of high school had been dealt to the Lakers. Never would I have imagined the type of career he would have.
Question his personality, but no one can question his heart, work ethic and passion for the game. Elite talent combined with elite work ethic. That is what has defined Kobe Bryant as a player.
One of the most explosive scorers EVER. There have been many players of his level of talent that have come after him, but none since him have matched his work ethic and dedication to improve.

Obviously during the non ring years. That's when every great player ever has had better stats. You put up the best stats when you're on worse teams. When you're on worse teams you don't win.

Re: Kobe Bryant scoring facts
[QUOTE=BEAST Griffin]The butt hurt is strong with Kobe fans. They'll bypass reading comprehension and race to defend their lord against an imagined enemy.
Top 20 could mean 11th, or 2nd, or 20th, or even 1st.
Fans feel like Godbe is being insulted by calling him a top 20 player of all time.
Oh noes, someone called Godbe a top 20 player of all time.
And acting like these all time rankings are objective facts.

Definitely one of the best players of all time. I laugh at people who don't think he is top 10 all-time.[/QUOTE]
Real easy to drop 40 on the regular when defenders aren't allowed to touch you, thanks to the new "Don't Look, Don't Touch" Rules that were introduced. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Nevaeh]Real easy to drop 40 on the regular when defenders aren't allowed to touch you, thanks to the new "Don't Look, Don't Touch" Rules that were introduced. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
He did it 19 times(and 9 in a row at one point) in '03 before the new rules.

So it should be easy for you to compile a list of the best players in the same era who did it just as often.
