Kobe Scores 81 Points

Wow! That might just get me interested in watching NBA Basketball again. Since Michael Jorden retired (the real MJ not the one who played for the Wizards,) I had gotten pretty much bored with the NBA. Actually, funny thing is, the last time I really kept up with the NBA like I do the NFL is when Magic Johnson and Co played for the LA Lakers. After that point, I kind of lost interest.

i agree. the nba was at its peak when mj, karl malone, stockton, hakeem, the admiral, barkley, reggie miller, dominique wilkins etc. were at their best in the early 90's and late 80's. but the nba is still good to me.

and if anyone starts saying, "well maybe kobe is as good/better than mj", i will flip. he may score but mj could do it all, including averaging 30+ points, 8 assists, 8 boards 2 steals per game. i can just see it coming from somehwere that some1 will start to think kobe is better

If he was playing against my team... he'd be too busy picking his teeth up off the floor to score 81.

What. The. Hail.

That is absolutly rediculous.

A little exaggerated, but not the least bit ridiculous.

quoting Big C

i agree...MJ shared the ball and made the players around him no matter who they were better, Kobe is just makin them rusty and worse, it looked like 1 against 5 out there

SHARE THE ROCK!!!!!!!

I'll still watch it during the finals, but it's just not the same to me. Even though I pulled for the Lakers, I did miss seeing players like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, John Stockton. I don't know, I guess it's getting harder for me to relate to it like I can football. Not to sound racist, but I guess it's the image of the NBA that I can't relate to. Not that it's wrong, I just miss the old days.

even scottie pippen says he doesn't think MJ could have done what kobe did last night and could at this pace eclipse MJ and to me that's saying something that a former teammate of MJ of that caliber who has never been a big fan of kobe said that. And plus the comparisions just can't be made until kobe has the same level of talent around him again like MJ did during the bulls run. and another point not too many people make about kobe is the fact that even though he shoots and scores a lot, u never here about whomever he's guarding even coming close to doing the same. So many people make him out to be just a scorer, but he should also get more credit for his defensive abilities. It is rather sad that he has to shoot as much as he does, but once again who does he have around him that can regularly step up and provide around 20 pts a game? There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if Lebron or Wade were doing what Kobe is, they'd be getting nothing but praise from fans and the media. Kobe's accomplishments will forever be tainted by what took place in Colorado and he has no one to blame but himself for that.
