    Default Kobe, Jordan, and 40 point games.

    Kobe Bryant, who scored only 26 points in the Lakers' win over the Blazers on Sunday, topped the 40-point mark for the 94th time of his career in a victory over the Jazz on Friday. Here is a look at where he ranks on the all-time list.

    Most career 40-point games
    Wilt Chamberlain 271
    Michael Jordan 173
    Kobe Bryant 94
    Elgin Baylor 88
    Allen Iverson 79

    No, I don't think he'll pass him.

    But being third behind Wilt and MJ isn't bad at all.

    What's so amazing is that MJ walked away from the game twice. The first time he was at his peak, and missed a season and most of another. The second time he still had gas in the tank.

    He could but he doesn't need to unless more injuries happen..

    Nope. Unlike most players, Kobe's career is end-loaded with highscoring games and now it's not even necessary.

    If he started off as a #1, that number might be closer but that's not the case.

    Can we stop this please? Seriously. Just stop. I hate these comments that Kobe can "turn it on" at will, whenever he wants. If that were the case, he would never go through the shooting woes he usually has, especially in the post season. So please, stop perpetuating the myth that Kobe can score at will, because if that were the case, that would mean he has struggled and lost on purpose.

    He won't pass him; he'll probaby finish his career with around 130-150 such games.

    More interesting is that Jordan has the most 40+ point games of any player in NBA history (38). Kobe has 6 playoff games of 40+. Jordan had more 40+ point playoff games in the 1989 postseason than Kobe has had in his entire career.
