No matter how you may look at it 81 points is a great performance from a future hall of famer. It is too bad that people look at him as I do, a back stabbing punk. How can you be that selfish? You have one of if not the greatest centers of all time and you are complaining that you want to be the man and you want to get out of his shadow. That is some BS! I get into everyday with my co worker who is a Laker fan whenever Kobe drops 40 plus. Most of is just hate.

I'm confused. Are you saying we should respect Kobe or not?

I really dislike Kobe, but for the guys that are saying 'but he took 46 shots..'

Name an NBA coach that will tell a guy to stop shooting when he's making over 60% of his shots, and getting 20 free throw attempts. I don't care where the shots are from, or how many people are guarding him, if a guy's shooting over 60%, you keep giving him the ball.

And almost everybody should agree that Kobe did one good thing - he made the Antonio Davis into the stands story go away. :tongue2:

HEY vMOD, HOW ABOUT YOU TURN THE CAPS-LOCK OFF AND NOT ADD TO MY STATEMENTS, ALONG WITH MAKING SOME SENSE BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE ARGUING...

Ha ha. Sorry about that. I was actually trying to answer your comments seperately, not add to your quote, hence the CAPS to differentiate between your quote and my response. Better? :)

I stated in the first part that Kobe is the reason the current team stinks. He chased Shaq and Jackson out of town. It's only after last year that Kobe realized he screwed up and got Jackson back to coach.

What part of my response gave you the impression I was arguing? All I said was even Jordan couldn't win with the current Laker squad. What's so hard to understand about that? Relax Francis.

try playing defense maybe?

Obviously this is an assumption, but this post leads me to believe that you do not watch the NBA all that much outside of sportscenter. Kobe Bryant has been a 1st team all-NBA defender 3 times, and a 2nd team all-NBA defender twice. He's been a consistant starter for 6 seasons. Even if you don't know the details of Kobe's defensive accolades, a casual NBA fan would at least know that Kobe Bryant is without a doubt one of the better man-up defenders in the game, because he demonstrated it time and time again on national television when the lakers were making their title runs.

There are alot of other semi-rediculous to flat out rediculous claims being thrown around on this thread by more posters than just BN27 and someone who cares a little more than me ought to point them out.

On second thought, it became obvious by pg. 7 who knew NBA basketball and who didn't, so I guess what I'd really like to see is pic's of Kobe Tai "hard at work" so that this whole thread can get moved to the Romper Room and thread jacked all to hell.

David Thompson scored 73 in 1978 with fewer shots, with a higher shooting percentage, and without the benefit of the 3-point line (turn Kobe's 3's into 2's, and he had 74). I don't see how this "feat" is so much more impressive than that.

Kobe played in all four quarters. and wasn't taken out until there were 46 seconds left in the game. He played just under 42 minutes, with much of that rest coming in his 26 point first half. As physical as the game is today, 42 minutes every night is almost too much for a 72 game schedule. You just can't take the chance on getting a guy, that IS your team, beat up, on the off chance that he's going to break the NBA scoring record. Phil was going to sit him earlier, until one of his assistance told him that Kobe had 77 points. Phil kept him in so he could get 80. Once he got 81, and there were only 43 seconds left, there really wasn't any reason to keep him in, with 100 being well out of reach.

I was talking about the night he scored 62, and was pulled after the 3rd quarter.


It just got mixed up when the 2 threads were merged.

Just for some perspective - here is a bit about a future Duke player out of Illinois.

NBCSports.com news services
Updated: 8:24 p.m. ET Jan. 17, 2006

With his future coach — Duke's Mike Krzyzewski — watching from the stands, Jon Scheyer put on one of the greatest shows in high school basketball history, and it still wasn't enough.
With his team, No. 1 Glenbrook North, losing by 71-58 to Proviso West in the Proviso West tournament with 1 minute, 24 seconds remaining, Scheyer scored 21 points in 1:15 seconds, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In that 75-second span, Scheyer nailed five three-pointers and six of seven free throws. He sank a 28-foot three-pointer to bring the Spartans to within 81-79 with nine seconds left, but Scheyer then fouled out trying to make his third steal during his burst.
.......

Scheyer will enroll at Duke in the fall.
Here's a breakdown of how Scheyer scored:
  • 1:24 to play: Makes two free throws (2)
  • 1:15: Makes 3-pointer, is fouled, makes free throw (6)
  • 1:10: Steals inbounds pass, makes layup, is fouled, makes free throw (9)
  • 1:04: Steal, is fouled, makes two free throws (11)
  • 0:39: Makes 3-pointer (14)
  • 0:21.4: Makes 3-pointer (17)
  • 0:19.9: Makes one of two free throws (18)
  • 0:09.1: Makes 3-pointer (21)
  • 0:06.6: Fouls out
