81 wasn't that great. Let Wilt or Jordan play against the Craptors and they'd drop 100+ on them.
Jordan, yes. Wilt, no. He doesnt have the luxury of dunking on a bunch of unathletic 6'5 white guys, and his biggest terror being someone that is 6'9.
Well it probably wouldn't have been tough for him to abuse Charmin Soft Bosh & that ty Italian in the post.
I was present, dressed in Spurs apparel, for that game.T-Mac's 13 pts in 35 seconds
I went alone- bought a ticket as Christmas gift to myself.
Even though it ended badly for me a Spurs fan, I will always remember that game and so got my money's worth.![]()
Sure....because MJ never played against ty compe ion....What I'm trying to reveal is this....It's the second highest scoring game of all time and I believe it's the single greatest scoring game in history given it's effeciency and not just a spoon fed post up move ad nauseum. Why couldn't jordan even come close is a mystery to me.....
Obviously I'm sure a lot of NBA players could do it, however none of them have as all stars must be aligned, matchups and overal game flow be determined.
I'd put my money on those two hold their own, than whoever the played in the 60s that no one knows about.
Jordan didnt need to. He was too busy helping make his teammates look better by setting them up with easy buckets and winning les to do that.
For the record, TMac's barrage was more funny than it was amazing. It was a fluke occurence mostly due to the Spurs getting sloppy near the end of the game. I was actually happy after that game because the Spurs had been blowing leads and not taking care of business at the end of games.
That was a wakeup call and was a rallying cry to never let up as the Spurs went on to win the championship that season. Thanks TMac![]()
I'm pretty sure people know LeBron can hit a three pointer and can get hot like many if not most NBA players. When people say he doesn't have a jumper, it's more or less an exaggerating meaning he doesn't have a "consistent" jump shot.
Kobe gets it hands down of the two.
Biggest playoff moment was Isiah Thomas giving the Lakers 25 in the 3rd quarter of Game 6 of the 88 Finals, some with a fractured ankle and being guarded by one of the great defenders in Michael Cooper. Even in a loss, that was bigger than even what LeBron did imo.
Could agree with that if the Pistons won game 6. Unfortunately for us Pistons fans, they didn't. I think the fact that LeBron's performance actually was the reason for the Cavs winning that game, it trumps Isiah's performance. Isiah's 25 point quarter on a fractured ankle might be more incredible on different levels, but LeBron's performance won the game.
Um, is there a more efficient play in basketball than a dominant post move?
Do you need a dictionary?
His 6 les as the undisputed leader of the team probably comfort him. Along with knowing that Kobe's blown it twice in the Finals, once as a leader and once as a sidekick. But hey Kobe's got 81 and "second greatest Robin ever" status.
I'd have to vote for myself on this one...
Consider the style points from the e Lee baiting alone...
You can't reason with someone who has obviously never heard of a set shot, either.
in a meaningless regular season game.
Could that be because in the grand scheme of things, 81 points in a game doesn't mean ? You're still a typical starting shooting guard's night away from Wilt.
Getting excited about 81 points in a game is on the same level as getting excited about the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby. Without some greater context, scoring about 80% of the single game scoring record in a regular season game is no more than the answer to a trivia question.

. . . and the Spurs never had a meltdown like that again on their way to championship number three. Thanks again, TMac.
Jermaine O'Neal and Amare Stoudemire in 2005.
Zone defense started being allowed in the NBA in the 2001-02 season.
100 > 81.
It's a real difficult concept.
It's like saying that Sammy Sosa's 609 home runs is the greatest feat in MLB history when Aaron has 755. Need some more analogies?
