Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a 122-104 Laker victory over Toronto, the second-highest individual scoring effort in NBA history after Wilt Chamberlain's 1962 100-point game.

I want to know how the Toronto Raptors can live with themselves.

I feel sorry for his teammates. Scoring 81 points is incredible and even with Kobe averaging over 30 per game the Lakers are still a mediocre team at best. It seems to me that Kobe and his stats come before winning.

People say that all the time (the said it about Jordan too) but don't consider that without him putting up those kinds of numbers, they have no chance to win whatsoever. I mean, who else on the team do you want taking those shots? That's the way it's going to be until they get some new players in there. Bryant has certainly done his share of objectionable things, but I don't think this was one of them.

The difference between Kobe and Jordan is that Jordan didn't mind sharing the spotlight if it meant winning more championships. Kobe basically made the Lakers choose between him and Shaq, forcing mangagements hand to trade Shaq. Kobe thought he could win without Shaq. How's that going by the way?:bigsmile:
