It was gimmicky and they lost pretty badly, hence why it doesn't get as much hype.

Kobe's 81 points was insane because he did it in a game where they needed it and they came back down double digits. It wasn't just that he scored 81, it was that they needed him to score a ridiculous amount to win and he did it to win.

Also something I found special about his 81 points is that the Raptors kept going after him 1 on 1 all game. It was beautiful to watch him just destroy defenders when they only took him one on one when he typically got the double teams sent after him quick when he was on.

If there's anyone we can count on unbiased Kobe talk from, it's the user whose handle is literally @KOBE :mjgrin:

Nah you're actually right though :hubie:

He was an 8 seed playing with garbage it was a miracle he got them there in the first place.
He was a 7th seed. Which may be more impressive than chucking 46 times against one of the worst teams ever who lost 55 games

Nikka please, that lakers team was hot ass which why they was losing to a team that “lost 55 games” in the first place. The simple fact Kobe even had that much to keep them in the game is telling. If a nikka got to score 81 points just to beat a below-the-barrel team than what does that tell you about the rest of his teammates? Without him the lakers would of been a 12th seed:mjlol:but I forgot this is the Coli, where we only give credit to players who lift trash teams when it’s Lebron or someone else. My bad

Clearly it’s talked about since you made a thread about it.

This is a silly topic, of course it’s not talked about daily while talking basketball just like kobes 81 or wilts 100 isn’t discussed either.

We bring up his 70 or kobes 81 and wilts 100 when discussing games where a player was red hot.

Of course it was forced, all high scoring games by a player are forced. You gotta jack up shots to score, teammates force the ball in your hand in these situations.

81 is 81i do t give a damn how you try to spin it. The lakers were actually losing the game and needed those points, the lakers were not a good team, thats what you are missing. If Lamar Odom is your second best player youre not good.

If Booker would've scored 70 and won most dudes on the Coli would still say it came and went. The more he scored the faster flabby heads heartbeats got
