    Off the top of my head

    2007 game five vs. Pistons in ECF

    2012 game four vs. Pacers

    2012 game six vs. Boston

    2009 Game four vs. Atlanta

    2009 Game one vs. Orlando

    just based on how much more important these games were and how much it was about winning not stats, these are much more impressive/significant performances.

    Wilt Chamberlain was embarrassed by his 100 point game. It isn't considered his best game at all. 100 is much, much more impressive than 81 and though Kobe's demonstration was awesome to watch, it wasn't that big a deal in terms of basketball history or the legacy of a player as great as Bryant.

    That makes sense.

    In terms of importance, what do you feel were Kobe's 10 best games as well as Jordan's 10 best?

    how many assist did he have that game? when you always chuck 25 times a game on 31% shooting eventually you will have a big game

    I'd have to really research that but some obvious candidates would be...

    MJ
    Flu game
    63 in the Garden
    55 in the '93 Finals
    Game seven vs. Knicks in 1992
    Game one of the 1992 Finals (the six three's)

    Kobe
    Game six versus Suns in '06
    Any number of playoff games versus the Kings (game 4 of the sweep most memorably)
    The 81 game
    Closeout game vs. Spurs in 2008 that got Lakers to finals
    Game one vs. Magic in Finals

    You mean overrated? I watched that game and the last 4-5 mins or so when the game was no longer in doubt, he was clearly just running up his point total. You could even see Brian Shaw talking to him during that final timeout they took probably filling him in on how many points he had and telling him to get to at least 80. By the end he was literally just catching the ball, getting double teamed, dribbling around in circles and then chucking up wild 3's.

    I would say most of the basketball community would put Kobe's 81 point game higher (in terms of importance) then any of those games..

    81 points in a game is Legendary and will be remembered.....go to any casual fan and they will know about Kobe scoring 81 points...

    especially over any of those games you listed.

    This performance was incredible by any measure, but your reasoning above is beyond stupid.
