Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
in "modern" basketball. When all rules are finalized. I know most people want to say that Wilt's 100 is a record but not in Modern basketball.
When Wilt supposedly scored this many points it was a time when basketball was in it's infancy. Over the course of decades the game has been tweaked and rules have been implemented to create fair play.
Since 1978 and beyond is when the game of basketball was very similar to what it is today. The rules of past is no good in today's league. Therefore, many have accepted 81 points as the official scoring record in "modern" basketball.

62 in three quarters was more impressive. The hypotheticals for the 4th quarter of that game had he played are endless. For some odd reason both teams included PF's with rings, Bosh and Dirk.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
Not really.
19 points shy of the record is still exceedingly impressive.
-
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
people don't think it's a record or are impressed by it because its Kobe. that's all.
but i agree with the guy above. 62 in 3 quarters was more impressive. Even more so because dallas had 61

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...

Not really that endless.
He would have put up between 85 and 95 points. 100 was very unlikely to happen.

Pretty much finalized because I don't count tweaks any major changes.
The game was basically changed almost in it's entirety in regards to rules and what is illegal today and adopted by the world.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
This is obviously just an attempt to give Kobe the record. Why can't we just be satisfied with what he's done? It was absolutely incredible we don't need to discount other things to make it even more so.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
In Wilt's 100 point game, a 6'6" center was guarding him.
That is like Kobe guarding Shaq in the post. It's a joke of an era. 6'6" - 6'8" centers :oldlol:

It's not so much the size of Wilt's opponents it was during a time when cherry picking and standing under the basket was ok.
Basketball in it's infancy.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
1979-80 was the start of the "modern era".
-
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
Lin would easily hit 100 if he played a full 48 minute game like Kobe or Wilt. What they did is not impressive, really. They also relied on their athleticism and were way too arrogant to be considered "good" in terms of record-breaking achievements.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
OMG!!!! OP you are a genius! I always thought 81 points was a common thing. :eek:

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
Just picture Kobe playing against centers who were raja bell's size, he'd obliterate Wilt's 100.

Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
I don't know. As fast as the game was back than it's still impressive a Center getting 100 points without shooting threes and being a bad free throw shooter.

No, not a sin. You just stated your true opinion in a thread full of sarcasm and trolling. If you want to defend Wilt and have a quality discussion, I suggest starting a new thread about it. :banana:
-
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
The arguemant can go either way really, You can say Wilt was too big a dude for the Centers and a faster pace game, But you can say Kobe dropped those points knocking down 3's against a weak team. And I'm a Kobe fan and Wilt fan even though I never watched him play BTW.

[B]Is It Also a Joke that a 6`4 3/4 Overweight and 33-36 Year Old Man Outplayed a Young Athletic Peek Duncan in The Late 90s?
Height is Not Everything :no:

It was the backup center at that :oldlol:
I was at the 81 point game, Kobe had 25 at the half and the Lakers were losing. I told my friend that Kobe would have to score at least 50 to win the game.......I had no freaking clue what was about to happen.

All I hear in this thread is "Wilt scored 100 points but let's pretend he didn't."
Are people high?
[B]Records don't change just because time passes.[/B] Roger Maris' 61 home runs wasn't randomly disregarded after decades. And if anything, baseball changed a hell of a lot more than basketball...
-
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
It was my understanding Wilt's 100 points was a result of the other team fouling and boosting him/allowing him to score for the purpose to set that record, that's why I never give it as much credit.
-
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
MLB actually wanted to put an asterisk next to Maris' record. lol
