Its one of his best offensive performances why wouldnt it get mentioned?This is like that Rocky Marciano clip in Coming To America.
Every time people talk about Kobe, they bring up the 81 point game.

Because yall hang onto 1 meaningless game against a shytty team as if it erases every other aspect of basketball that makes other players better than Kobe.

The thing is, us Kobe fans have always admitted to Jordan being better tho 
Jordan is what you get if you give Kobe Lebron type athletic ability.
Kobe only really had 2 years of legacy building, unlike MJ and Bron who had the opportunity at young ages. In those two year he averaged 33ppg.

Stop living in the 90's....today game is far more advanced and has the best offense and defense of all time...Jordan would be a top 15 player in this era
But aint nobody talking about 45 points vs the Grizzlies in 2002, are they?
Keep citing individual games instead of better careers tho.
81 games, 81 games.
That's they one...

Wanna know why people talk about him scoring 81 points...
Because he literally scored 81 points, in a single game. We also talk about the time he out scored the western conference champs through three quarters. Do you understand these things?
We also love mentioning that time he destroyed Timmy in 2001 to the tune of 45 points and 10 rebounds.
Or the 42 he put on the Spurs in 04.
Can't forget about the 39 in Game 5 of the WCF in 08. Would you like us to mention these ones more often?
We can talk about 5 titles, 2 MVPs and 3 Finals MVPs too, if you wantWanna know why people talk about him scoring 81 points...
Would you like us to mention these ones more often?
