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.

CHAMBERLAIN SCORES 100 POINTS. The game still had 46 seconds left but was not completed because fans poured onto the court.

[doug from upland]

There was a thread on the cancellation. FReepers were not crying about it. Now, get rid of Geena Davis.

AMEN! I'm not crying either. When Michael Moore was talking about "fictitional governments", he must have been looking to shows like "The Left Wing" and ahead to "Commander in (Miss)Chief".

[SoCal Pubbie]

What stuff would that be?

[stylin19a]

good grief...wikipedia is updated already.. kobe's game is also included in Wilt's bio.

[doug from upland]

Of course. Doh. How could I have forgotten?

[doug from upland]

His wife was busy.

[Echo Talon]

What stuff would that be?

Driving the lane like he does, 20 years ago they wouldnt go for that at all.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Laker announcer Stu Lantz called it the greatest basketball performance he'd ever seen.

[quantim]

The Pistons would still wipe the floor with Kobe and the Lakers.

Yes, but they probably won't get the chance.

'Kobe' is a stain.

[dfwgator]

A 33-5 record, now THAT'S impressive.

[dfwgator]

He doesn't have much of a 'supporting cast', as they used to say about Jordan and the Bulls.

But at least Jordan made the guys around him play better (see Scotty Pippen). Kobe is just a ball hog.

--------------------------------------------------------

Last I checked, Jordan had as many championships without guys like Scottie Pippen and Steve Kerr/John Paxson as Kobe does without guys like Shaquille O' Neal, Derek Fisher and Rick Fox. ZERO.

[MarkeyD]

So was Jordan when he was younger. And I didn't say Kobe wasn't a ball hog. Kobe has had too much success early and is immature because of it. He doesn't trust the people he plays with.

Jordan didn't win his first championship until he was 28. Kobe won't be 28 until August and already has 3. Hopefully he will learn to be a team player. If he's smart he will.

A 33-5 record,

Now if only the Detroit Tigers or Detroit Lions could WIN more than 5 games, this would be a real sports town. ;-)

[SoCal Pubbie]

Yeah. Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Dany Ainge, Dominique Wilkins, Julius Erving- they never drove the lane.

[nickcarraway]

The 100 points was in an exhibition.

[MarkeyD]

I've always doubted that 100 as an accounting error.

[JRios1968]

Now if only the Detroit Tigers or Detroit Lions could WIN more than 5 games...

Combined??
