prime kobe would not be able to score 81 in a modern game

[King Jane]

defenses got too sophisticated

athletes got better

pace

youtube means more sophisticated scouting reports to expose holes in his game vs his weaker 81 game era

at his peak puts up maybe a 60 point game tops in todays league

you figure he a smaller weaker lebron an the best lebron did in a modern game was 60 thats wat kobe could get at bess but with less rebounds an assists an lower efficiency

Hed score 96 on current lakers as a 26 year old

Not even going to bother responding about Kobe.



You act like multi-million, sometimes billion-dollar teams rely on youtube to get game footage of players.

[Nikola_]

yes, 2006 was in the 60s

[Quickening]

We are talking about the guy with the most missed shots ever... if you chuck at a ridiculous rate every game you're going to get hot occasionally. I am surprised he didn't have more 70 plus scoring games.

Youtube? What is wrong with you? I feel less intelligent just reading this crap.

[SyRyanYang]

That youtube scouting bit had me giggled but calling Kobe mini-Lebron isn't even funny. They are like the exact opposites.

[ImKobe]

if Melo and Bran can drop 60+ in this era, Kobe can easily drop 80...

Hmmm, this ether is very refreshing, thank you good sir.

Lettuce be reality, with the amount of evolution that humans finna do every year, prime Kobe would not even be able to make the modern league.

Have you seen the eastern conference? The 8th seeds winning percentage was %44 while in 06 the western conference it was %54

I do agree that NBA coaches also had to adapt to new modifications to the rules, but a bad team now is still as bad as the Raptors then.

[HOoopCityJones]

Op's right , he'd score 91 for sure.

Even the most degenerate Kobe hater , like John Hollinger respects the 81 pt game and considers it a better feat than Wilt's 100 pt performance.
