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

[QUOTE=9erempiree]I can only imagine what Shaq would do in a time when basketball was in it's infancy and the wrinkles were being ironed out.

He would be putting up 60 and 30[/QUOTE]

Infancy? The game was invented in the 1890's. And aside from the shot clock in the mid-50's, and the 3pt shot in the late 70's, it has been essentially the SAME game that has been played over the course of a 100+ years.

And, as for Shaq, I suspect that he would have had to dramatically adjust his game back in Wilt's era.

There was simply no way the NBA would have allowed him to do this...

He would have fouled out on those possessions alone.

AND, has Wilt been allowed to do that, well...he could have single-handedly won every game, and would have averaged 100 ppg.

if Wilt Chamberlain played today he would get the same benefits from nutritional and technological advancements as players today and he would be the best physical specimen and by far the best player in the league

they need to write wilts 100 out of the record books or asterix that shit with a big fat asterix that says "achieved in a weak era"

I'm not in favor of that.......but it was horribly weak and NOT in the modern era.

On that note, Lisa Leslie scored 101 in a HALF in high school..........the other team snuck out of the gym at halftime and never came back. True

Sorry, Wilt Chokedagain is the record holder here, not Kobrick Cryant.

Yeah, sure injury..........as in HURT FEELINGS :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Nice lie they told to keep from getting banned for the remainder of the season and to keep the coach's job :oldlol:

Lets be REALLY HONEST here.......the NBA had only 9 teams when Wilt scored 100 :oldlol: To call that the Modern Era is a freaking joke x1000000
Of those 9, only 5 are still the same Boston, Lakers, Pistons, Knicks.......SF Warriors.
And those help defenders weighed as much as Wilt's legs and couldn't jump as high as his head :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not to bash the greatness of Wilt......he was GREAT!!!, BUT.....we have to be honest here.

Please name the three clowns that Shaq scored his career high 61 point game against.

are you like 6 years old or something ?

there has to be more creative ways to bash players than that.

[QUOTE=jlauber]Please name the three clowns that Shaq scored his career high 61 point game against.[/QUOTE]

Sure.....Bigger, Stronger and More Athletic players.......NEXT.....:roll:

The pace of the game in the 60s was far faster than was Kobe was playing with in 2006. Wilt had more possessions in the up-and-down game. There were 316 combined points in that game.

Then you have to consider that Chamberlain's points came easier. He was a post player that could be fed the ball and overwhelm his opponents. Kobe is a perimeter player that had to handle it and score by creating his own shot off the dribble for the most part. Chamberlain simply overpowered everyone. It's like a college kid dominating middle school kids. Kinda like this: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-CThQskBM[/url]

It was a close game early on, but despite facing the Toronto Raptors, the Lakers were down 71-53 at one point. Remember the 06 Lakers? They were shit. In the end Kobe pretty much single handily beat the Raps on his own.

In terms of pure dominance, Wilt's game was better. Considering the position of each player and the era, Kobe's game was more impressive than Wilt's. Maybe not as dominating, but the degree of difficulty just makes it more impressive. 81 points on mostly jump shots? Not to mention Kobe took 17 less shots, 12 less free throws, and only fell 19 short of Wilt's record. Not bad at all.

Record or not, 81 points is an impressive feat and will definitely be one of the most memorable moments of his career,

[QUOTE=DKLaker]Sure.....Bigger, Stronger and More Athletic players.......NEXT.....:roll:[/QUOTE]

The great clod Olowakandi, then 6-10 Piatkowsky, and then even the 6-7 Chilcutt. That is a list for the ages...

[QUOTE=DKLaker]Sure.....Bigger, Stronger and More Athletic players.......NEXT.....:roll:[/QUOTE]

Michael Olowokandi (One of the worst centers ever)

Pete Chillcutt (Who ?)

Yeah really great players

The guy Wilt scored most of his 100 on Daryl Imhoff was a more respected player than these two

And to echo this...

Chamberlain had a 73 point, 36 rebound game against the 6-11 HOFer Walt Bellamy, who would have been listed at 7-0 in today's NBA.
