    so you are saying that if someone scores 50 against an nba team and loses is worse than scoring 100 points and win this team


    Did I say that all that matters is winning and context is not important? No. I was still thinking within the context of the games. Kobe scoring 81 points and beating the Raptors is more impressive to me than Jordan scoring 63 points and losing to the Celtics. If Jordan had won that game, it would have increased the impressiveness of it, and likely would have bumped it above Kobe's game IMO.

    The difference between 81 and 63 (18 pts) is equal to, or greater than, all but 30 players in the league are currently averaging (normal rounding rules applied, based on BBR stats page).

    It's not like we're discussing 63 in playoffs vs 69 in regular season or anything. The numbers are not close.

    18 pts would be an incredibly noteworthy quarter of scoring. Hell, it's a great HALF of scoring for everyone not named Durant, Melo, Lebron, and it would still be a GOOD half for them.

    Again, 81 and 63 are not close. Game circumstance most certainly plays a role when the numbers are closer... but at that distance? 81, all day, every day.

    I'm no scientist, but i think the larger number is larger and therefore more impressive.

    Close but Mj's 63 all day as he did it in the PS against arguably the greatest team ever.

    Top 2 rebounder in the game, best PF in the game, under 6'8'':



    Bird would eat any of those dudes alive and then you got prime McHale and good-contributor still in Walton, also Ainge, plus Parish and DJ those 2 whiteys. Sitchting and Wedman also good role players.

    Cant believe people say Kobe 81 versus Jordan's 63 in the playoffs versus those mighty Celtics.

    Can't believe that this is even a topic. Jordan needed DOUBLE OVERTIME to score his 63 points, to make matters worse; his team lost. Of course the Celtics were a better team than the Raptors, but it was also in a more high scoring era as well. Kobe's performance was far more impressive, and that's the truth.

    If it was Kobe scoring 63 points in a Playoff loss (2OT), would we still be celebrating it?

    Lebron's 45 is better than both actually.

    Hit the nail right on the head with this one.

    But because it's Jordan, it's the greatest performance ever amg!!!

    Jordan lost. Kobe carried his team of college basketball bench caliber players back from a 25 point deficit and won.

    Oh, and Kobe scored 18 more points. In less minutes. What exactly are we comparing, again?

    Kobe easily

    MJ needed double OT and that defense was a goddamn layup line for anyone who watched the game

    80's defense is cringeworthy to watch

    To anyone who thinks 81 is more impressive, then according to their logic:

    Jack Taylor (NCAA) 138 points >>> Kobe's 81 > Jordan's 63.


    Seriously, argurably best team ever, playoffs, how do idiots even debate about this?
