81 Points Makes Kobe Bryant Better Than Canada On Any Day

Wait a minute . . . is Kobe really that good? Are the Raptors really that bad? Think its possible to mix in some defense or a foul or something?

The LA Laker's Kobe Bryant has now cemented himself in NBA scoring history with the second highest individual scoring performance, 81 points, in a game. Second only to what was once scene as the impossible scoring performance of 100 points by Wilt Chamberlain.

I have a hard time believing a team of 'professional' basketball players allowed on man to score 26 points in the first half, and then follow up with 55 points in the second half.

Looks the Kobe might be better off with out Shaq in town. To bad the Lakers as a team aren't much better than Toronto.
