I haven't had a chance to really rewatch this game it happened live, but it's a game that will always stand out to me. Amazing performance, once in a lifetime performance.

can this game be purchased anywhere? I would absolutely love to have it.

You can buy it or any game from the past 7-8 seasons from pontel. Don't think they sell to the usa but australia is fine

I remember people saying in 06 that players like VC, T-Mac and Lebron could also score that many points in the future. But after 5 years it's been pretty clear that this was a very very special achievement.

Kobe's 62 vs Mavs in three quarters are as special to me though

Believe it or not for a while this game was available on iTunes. You could download it and watch on demand. However, you're in Australia. It may not be available in your country.

You can always open a new iTunes account and use a US mail address in your signup.

I have two iTunes account one US account and one for the UK i used BBC Televisions main office address for account during my signup.

Have you, or anyone here used Pontel before? If so can you recommend them?

Nobody has even come close. I think the last 60 point game was Kobe's 61 at MSG, lol.

i remember one really funny tidbit of information.

they interviewed david spade at quarter time or there abouts, he said he was it was his first lakers game and was there because jack nicholson couldn't be there that night and had his courtside seats

how unlucky was jack and how lucky was david spade

Only thing that would have made it better would be if Billy Mac wasn't announcing for a sick Joel Myers :'(
