If it's the same source I heard about, it came from some really random guy who claimed John Wooden said it in a conversation with him. I don't think the story was ever confirmed.

Well Klay did something that no one else had ever done. 37 points in a quarter on 13-13 shooting wasIn what universe
The problem with events like the Kobe 81, Klay 37, or McGrady 13 is just because they were the player that did it doesn't mean they are the only player that could do it. But for people that want to use that, you HAVE to have Klay in that conversation.
Breh you missed something special on pre retirement mj
Games like the one against the blazers in the finals when he shrugged his shoulders was just
I'll take Jordan. When Jordan was going nobody was fukking with him.
...Kobe got this one.

Jordan has far better outbursts than Kobe in the 'offs...that fact isn't up for debate.
Kobe was on good teams most of his career. It is why he only average 25 ppl and only has 2 scoring titles. My averaged 37 precisely because his teams weren't good enough. Kobe is the most explosive scorer ever.

Jordan is the better all around player. Kobe was the more dangerous scorer. When Kobe used to get hot, all those retarded shots start going in and it's 
out there
out thereHe had a bunch of high 40 point playoff games. He averaged about 30 for the last 3 runs to the finals.Funny how those scoring bursts never happened when the stakes were at their highest: Playoffs and Finals.
ONE 50-pt game in the playoffs and ONE 40-pt game in the finals... over 20 seasons

2 scoring titles < 10 scoring titles and Mike was able to lead the league during all 6 championship seasons, averaging over 30 during the first 4 and just a fraction of a point per game less than 30 in 1996-1997.
3rd alltime playoff points (only 100 less than Kareem). He did enough. He's rareFunny how those scoring bursts never happened when the stakes were at their highest: Playoffs and Finals.

Another narrow, impossible to measure categorization used by kobestans to justify their disturbing cult. You people are worse than Donald Trump Surrogates.
Here are simple facts. Despite playing more seasons than Jordan or Kevin Durant, Kobe has fewer scoring titles than either. Despite scoring 81 points in a regular season game, Kobe only has 1 50 point game in the playoffs (an overtime game against a team that played poor defense) Despite taking 47 shots in a game, kobe missed 30 of them, setting an all time record for shots missed.
The only reason you idiots talk about the "on fire" games is that Kobe regularly shot like an idiot despite being cold. He was a middle class man's iverson, not a poor man's jordan.
