Many times during this part of Kobe's career, he'd be the "bailout" to avoid shot clock violations. So he was forced to shoot many difficult shots.

Kobe Haters should watch these early 2007 games and listen to every commentator saying "Only 18 shots a game? He needs to get back to the 27 shots a game he's been taking." The Lakers, at times, have needed Kobe to light it up. And with this scrub ass team of course he was gonna fill it up. It's the only reason they won games.

This was yet another occasion where if Kobe was on the floor, you were never out of it. He was an absolute scoring machine who could score from, literally, ANYWHERE on the floor against anybody; he’s the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen. Most people (haters) would look at the amount of field goal attempts, but given the quality of teammates Kobe had, he needed to shoot/score as much as much possible to give those Lakers teams (2005-‘06 & 2006-‘07) a chance to win; his prime was certainly not fulfilled.

As much as i mora like 2009&10 Kobe, this was the Kobe at his best.

He is 2-assist short from a triple-double. He could’ve easily done that but that just proves that Kobe isn’t a stat-chaser unlike the players today.

since 99-00 NBA finals vs Pacers Ive watched Kobe until he retired..

Damn he fought hard for this one, down 20 in the second quarter, Kobe grinded this one out like the clipse 😆

See the difference? When kobe scores extremely high, it’s usually out of necessity because he has no choice but to carry the team most of the time especially that 81 point game. Star players nowadays *cough* *harden* *cough* either stay in the game despite having a comfortable lead or stay in the game to reach their ppg despite a blowout game. That’s stat padding. Kobe is different.

Kobe should have had a triple-double this game, kwame Brown messed up 2 open layups Kobe passed to him at the end of the game. So pity Kobe had to play with those worst bums in the NBA. In addition, Kobe dropped 50+ so many times against Battier, one of the best defensive players in the NBA, who locked down Lebron with shitty stats lol

You know you’re the greatest when people find any excuse to hate you! There has been a lot of debate on who the GOAT really is, well until someone scores 81 points I guess it’s Kobe Bryant.
