    Default Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...

    in "modern" basketball. When all rules are finalized. I know most people want to say that Wilt's 100 is a record but not in Modern basketball.

    When Wilt supposedly scored this many points it was a time when basketball was in it's infancy. Over the course of decades the game has been tweaked and rules have been implemented to create fair play.

    Since 1978 and beyond is when the game of basketball was very similar to what it is today. The rules of past is no good in today's league. Therefore, many have accepted 81 points as the official scoring record in "modern" basketball.

    62 in three quarters was more impressive. The hypotheticals for the 4th quarter of that game had he played are endless. For some odd reason both teams included PF's with rings, Bosh and Dirk.

    Not really.

    19 points shy of the record is still exceedingly impressive.

    people don't think it's a record or are impressed by it because its Kobe. that's all.

    but i agree with the guy above. 62 in 3 quarters was more impressive. Even more so because dallas had 61

    Not really that endless.

    He would have put up between 85 and 95 points. 100 was very unlikely to happen.

    Pretty much finalized because I don't count tweaks any major changes.

    The game was basically changed almost in it's entirety in regards to rules and what is illegal today and adopted by the world.

    This is obviously just an attempt to give Kobe the record. Why can't we just be satisfied with what he's done? It was absolutely incredible we don't need to discount other things to make it even more so.

    In Wilt's 100 point game, a 6'6" center was guarding him.
    That is like Kobe guarding Shaq in the post. It's a joke of an era. 6'6" - 6'8" centers
