Koby Bryant scored 81 points tonight, the second highest ever in an NBA game. Wilt Chamberlain, then of the Philadelphia Warriors, scored the all-time high of 100 points in a game.
Kobe's box score for the evening:
41 minutes
28-46 field goals
7-13 3-pt field goals
18-20 free throws
I'll get the assists and other stats later.
28 of 40 2-pointers.
Ball hog because they dont have anyone else...course he ran em all off
Wrong ---- 21 of 33 2-pointers
That's pretty impressive.
Should have thought of that in Colorado.
Still impressive.
On the evening of March 26, 1973, Bill Walton forever etched his name into the history books as perhaps the greatest college player ever. By the time Bill Walton finished his professional career in 1986, most basketball observers considered him to be one of the greatest centers ever. On that magical night in St. Louis, Walton became a basketball icon. In the championship game of the NCAA tournament against Memphis State, the big redhead from San Diego, CA, canned 21 of 22 shots, scored 44 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and led UCLA to the NCAA title. Some would suggest it was just another day at the office for Walton. He led the Bruins to an 86-4 record and was a vital member of UCLA teams that won 88 straight games. Walton was a three-time All-America, The Sporting News Player of the Year three straight years and MVP of the 1972 and 1973 NCAA tournaments. He finished his collegiate career with 1,767 points (20.3 ppg) and 1,370 rebounds (15.7 rpg).

Do you have his shot chart for that game?
Great point...
I didn't see that, doug. I apologize. I was sending it to someone else, but I thought I'd ping you (again, not knowing that you'd posted that already). My bad.
No problem. I did make a foolish math error later in the thread. :)

click on the story that says "final," click on stats, then click on his name
I meant Bill Walton's.
In unrelated news, Doug, I just saw on Yahoo that "The Left Wing" has been cancelled. Perhaps there was a thread on it, I'm a little late to the dance today.
I don't know where Walton's would be found. Most of the shots, as I recall, were pretty close in.
Goes to show you that the talent he is playing against is horrible. The players of today are nothing compared to the players of 15-20 years ago. Much like the NFL the rules have sissified the NBA and if Bryant would try some of the stuff he does back 20 years ago be would be in the hospital.
