godBe gonna god
It is what it is, an amazing performance against an awful defensive team.
Cool, now let's see Kobe have a big game (obviously not as big as this) when it matters - in the playoffs. Preferably in the Western Conference Finals or the Finals, but just the playoffs will be fine. :lol

Yeah. He's never had a big game or great series in the playoffs.

yeah, he doesn't get to play with the Sixers, Bucks, Hawks and get a 7 game series against them all the time

And the guy said WCF of all things.. that's where Kobe's had some of his best series/playoff games :oldlol: Make your age less obvious

Kobe's probably the greatest WCF performer of all-time. Only Magic can have an argument against him.
[QUOTE=fsvr54]46 shots lol[/QUOTE]
81 points on 46 shots is bad? :wtf:
Its severely underrated here in this crap of a site bc there are so many trolls and haters that will do anything to discredit Kobe. I don't care if they were a crap team or they signle covered him. He is still playing against the best in the world. And why hasnt anyone come remotely close to 81 since? The excuses pile up to discredit. But people with sensible minds and no agendas understand the greatness of that game and that it likely will never happen again.
It was a great game. The defense of those Raptors was definitely awful though. But you also have to look at the team Kobe was on. He was the whole team practically. He had the green light to shoot as much as he wanted.
Who's to say another player in the same league(or close) as Kobe wouldn't have scored around the same amount of points on a night like that where you're getting that crazy amount of shot attempts, and having a good shooting night, against a bad team?
I think the reason that it's underrated is because there's pretty much nobody in today's league that would ever have as much of a green light to take as many shot attempts as Kobe did on that otherwise mediocre Lakers squad.

I'm really starting to believe that these LeBron fanboys started watching the NBA after The Decision.
His post was made on 08-24 .Real kobe fan. Props.
I am not a fan of Kobe but he was very good in this game. I still have it on my PC somewhere.
He was still chucking a lot though.. they were a bad team.. similar to this year's Lakers team.. but in this one game.. he was super human. Especially in getting to the FT line.. and getting the whistles. And hitting shot after shot.
It's the kind of performance that AI or Kobe fans love.. because their hero seems like a god. But who coaches or team fans hate.. because it only justifies more chucking and hero ball.
But in this one game.. it worked.. and he played like he wasn't human. You can't criticise anything Kobe did in this game.. because it was one of the all time great performances from an NBA player.
This is the real Masterpiece..
I agree it is SEVERELY underrated..
Greatest single game performance of all time.. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
