    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

    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

    They forfeited the game at half time because they only had 4 players total due to injury

    Lets be REALLY HONEST here.......the NBA had only 9 teams when Wilt scored 100 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

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

    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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-CThQskBM

    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,

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

    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.
