Wow, turns out we've got some real homers on this board.
The man just scored 81 freaking points. On one hand people say everyone on the Lakers but Kobe sucks and on the other they say he's a real ballhog. Hello? This doesn't make sense.
Give the man his props. What an incredible individual show. I never thought I'd see a player score more than 80 points in a game in this era. Unbelievable.

Eh, I'm going to contest #3: I don't think that we were lucky to beat the Lakers, any more than I think that we we've been "lucky" to beat the Clippers, or "lucky" to beat to Suns. Or that the Jazz were "lucky" to sweep the Pistons. There's a such a thing as matchups, and it's quite possible that we beat the Lakers because we match up well against them.QueensFan said:

Yeah no complaint here, the kid hit 60% of his shots from the field and did the most importat thing for a Laker win these days... keep the ball out of Odom's hands. But the folks that are making a comparason to Webber would be better served to back out before people actualy look at both stat lines.

All I have to say is that was the best basketball performance I have ever seen in my life.

no, its all over shadowed by the Seahawks and Steelers since we now know who is gonna be in the superbowl. Kobe is an amazing and great player. he had one hell of a game tonite. Let the kobe haters keepin hatin'... i find it funnyjacobdrj said:Heh, think the OTHER way around. Too bad for the Suns/Sonics. They put up a hek of a show, and Kobe has to grand-stand and take away all the buzz with his modern-day-record-breaking-performence

81pts on 46 shots is TREMENDOUS.
And to do it in a game that was competitive for the first 40min is also amazing.
In any case this crosses that line -- if you can't tip your hat to this, then you've got a real problem. A one man throwback game. Scored more points than our whole TEAM did yesterday. In overtime. In fact would have singlehandedly beat us or Orlando in regulation.
Nobody has approached something like this in 30 years.

truly a spectacular performance... that 3rd quarter run was just incredible to watch. say whatever you want, but this goes down as one of the top 5 regular season games ever played in the NBA by ANYONE!

His performance tonight transcends petty little differences like what jersey he's wearing.
I've asked you before - please don't make the same mistake as some others around here. Taunting isn't cool; and in this case it certainly doesn't do anything except diminish what Bryant accomplished. You're on a Kings board. We're also NBA fans, and for that reason we will acknowledge Kobe's accomplishment.

If you have one guy scoring that well, the rest of the team can just focus on defense and rebounding.

I like triple-taked at the screen when I first saw this at NBA.com.
I saw "Night of eighties" and disregarded it, then saw "Second highest point total with 81." and I was in shock...I had to run up and wake my dad and tell him.
Crazy.
I have to give Kobe his props...To one hell of a performance.

Holy crappers.. I usually watch or scan thru the games tonight but I saw Lakers vs Raptors and others and yawned.. then hours later I check the boxscores and can't believe my eyes. I hate Kobe like no other, but a show is a show. It didn't take long after that 62 pt game for him to redeem himself--how crazy does that sound--and actually satisfy the NBA nation by playing all the way til the end on this one, but it was warranted. Congrats to all his fantasy owners tonight lol.

I don't like Kobe and never will but I have to give him his props. Awesome performance. It could be another 30 years before this happens again.

Pleaze. Lamar Odom being an Eeeediot (as Ren Hoak would say) is what won that game for Sacto. He runs the clock down like any non-idiot, non-Clipper draftee does 999 out of 1000 times and they're up 4 w/ 8 secs even if they don't get a shot off. You don't see that type of move even if the guy is TRYING to point shave. He pulled a Leon Lett.
That's not to say you don't match up well with LA, but that win was a gift. Please do something like that next time you play the Lakers.

Someone at LT pointed out that this was Kobe's 666th game. Now we know who to blame!
Explains alot about Kobe doesn't it!
When I first saw that he scored 81 on MSN.com I thought I was seeing things... Im still in awe.
Wowza!

Insane, what a season he is having.
But you have to feel bad for him with such a crappy team around him, i doubt Jordan could win as much with Kobes current team....
