Congratulations Kobe - now #3 for number of 40 point games!! 

Post#1 » by Kobe>Jordan>God » Sat Feb 2, 2008 4:12 am

Kobe Bryant just passed Elgin Baylor to place number three for career 40 point games.

Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan are the other two ahead of Kobe, and Kobe is still playing. Another magnificent career achievement!

It's not the Raptors' fault that all their fans heckle Kobe in turn making him angry and causing him to just humiliate them.

Kobe's got a big red circle on his calender for when they play the Raptors.

It's a nice accomplishment for sure, but it's going to be awfully hard to climb any higher.

Kobe always seems to do something historic against the Raps.

This further proof that Kobe is better than Jordan! oh wait, he's only barely halfway to MJ's mark.

Things even out considerably. Just look at the league average ppg during the Jordan years.
110.8
110.2
109.9
108.2
109.2
107
106.3
105.3
105.3
first retirement

Just imagine... 100 to 95 was a low scoring game. LOL! Hell, the only reason the scoring dropped each year was because of the new expansion teams inability to score at all. The top teams still were able to average 120 in a season.

Wasn't he like 19-28 from the field and also had 5 assists? Seriously you can't stop that. Wow, that is dominant.

Wilt played 1045 games, thus scored 40+ in one out of about every 3.9 games
Jordan played 1072 games, thus scored 40+ in one out of about every 6.2 games
Kobe's played 828 games, thus scored 40+ in one out of about every 9.3 games

They even tried the "A" material, Juan Dixon, on him and it failed. He was in the zone.

Yep. 2007 will be a good year, and don't let anyone tell you that it's already 2008.

Since the 04-05 season he has scored 40+ points 56 times in the regular season. Over that time he has played in 267 games. So thats 40+ every 4.7 games.

When did MJ or Wilt play with anyone who was avg'g 25ppg? Jordan never did and it wasn't until Wilt went to the Lakers and played with West that he did.

Kobe spent the majority of his career with Shaq who avg'd 27 points. So that comparison is apples and oranges........
I'm so tired of the typical......
