62 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks - 12/20/05
Playing only for three quarters, Kobe absolutely dominated the game, outscoring the entire Mavs team, 62-61, before sitting out for the entire fourth quarter. It is the twelfth most efficient game. Former Laker Rick Fox provided an extensive and entertaining in-game commentary. More
60 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies - 03/22/07
Bryant became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in three straight games. He joined legends like Michael Jordan, who performed the feat for the Chicago Bulls in 1987, former Laker Elgin Baylor in 1962, and scoring machine Wilt Chamberlain who did it for the Warriors from 1961-63. The disc features an excellent post-game analysis from none other than legendary Laker "Big Game" James Worthy from the broadcasting studio. More
58 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Charlotte Bobcats - 12/29/06

Premier Michael Jordan Performances
69 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers - 03/28/90
In his career-high scoring game, MJ victimized the Cavs once again in a 117-113 overtime win for the Bulls. He also had 18 rebounds, six assists and four steals. It is rated the best all-around game by a player since 1978, according to the Player Efficiency Ratings assigned by statistician John Hollinger. Jordan dominates the list, with 14 of the 27 top performances. The game was hotly contested, as the Cavs were trying to win their way into the playoffs. Coach Lennie Wilkins received two technicals and was ejected early in the third quarter for protesting a 'breakaway' foul on Jordan by John Williams.
64 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic - 01/16/93
Michael Jordan was at his best, scoring 64 points on 26 of 47 shooting, but the defending World Champion Bulls still fell to the upstart Magic, 128-124, in an overtime thriller at Chicago Stadium. MJ came out firing, putting up 22 in the first quarter alone. Rookie Shaquille O'Neal had a strong outing, with 29 points and a team-record 24 rebounds. He was supported by point guard Scott Skiles' 31 points and 10 assists. However, it was Magic shooting guard Nick Anderson who stole the show by hitting a 3-point shot with 1.4 seconds left in regulation that sent the game into overtime, then converting a crucial three-point play with 1:05 remaining in overtime.
63 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics - 04/20/86
Rated one of the NBA's greatest individual performances, Jordan lit up every defender in front of him. In Game 2 of Chicago's first round matchup against the eventual NBA champion Celtics inside of the hallowed halls of the Boston Garden, he set a playoff record by scoring an amazing 63 points against what many considered to be one of the greatest NBA teams ever. The Celtics won the game, 135-131 in double-overtime, and went on to sweep the Bulls, but Jordan's playoff record still stands.
Said Celtics legend Larry Bird: "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."
59 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Detroit Pistons - 04/03/88
Coming back east from a Western Conference road trip and finishing up in Detroit, on Easter Sunday and in front of a national TV audience, MJ torched the Pistons in a two-point Bulls win, connecting on two free throws with four seconds left in the game. The loss was Detroit's fourth in a row, but the team went on to win the Championship later that year. Jordan had set the Pontiac Silverdome record with 61 points on March 4, 1987. Reportedly, it was after this game that Pistons coach Chuck Daly developed the "Jordan rules."
55 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks - 03/28/95
In a Top 5 Jordan game, four games after coming back from his first retirement MJ hung a "double nickel" (on the New York Knicks in a riveting performance. The electric atmosphere was like Game 7 of the finals, opening night and the All-Star Game wrapped up in one. When Jordan walked onto the Garden floor for the first time in the season, it was as if he had never left. The Knicks fought hard to keep it close at the end, but lost on a brilliant pass by - of course - Jordan. One of the best games of all-time.
52 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Portland Trail Blazers - 02/26/88
Clyde Drexler scored career-high 42 points in a Portland win. Blazer teammate Kevin Duckworth had 9 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter. Drexler also had 9 assists and 8 steals. Along with his 52 points, Jordan also tallied 8 rebounds and 3 assists. He equaled his best scoring effort for the season.
52 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Philadelphia 76ers - 11/16/88
Jordan had an amazing outing, shooting a stunning 24/29 for an .828 field-goal percentage and breaking the Philadelphia Spectrum record of 51 by Moses Malone against Detroit on Nov. 4, 1984. MJ started out hitting 21 of his first 23 shots, then went 3 for his last 6. He also had 9 rebounds and 4 steals. Sixer star forward Charles Barkley scored 42 points (shooting 18-25 for a gaudy .720 field goal percentage) and grabbed 16 rebounds.
49 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics - 04/17/86
In his first playoff game against the heavily-favored Boston Celtics, Jordan put his explosive skills on display for all to marvel at. The Bulls came out very aggressively, looking anything like an underdog, and making the Garden faithful very nervous. The Celtics held a slim half-time lead, 61-59, despite a 28-point onslaught by Jordan who abused a variety of defenders including Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, and Rick Carlisle with an assortment of fall-away jumpers and dunks. Although Boston's experience and strength in the middle with Parrish and McHale allowed them to prevail, it was a much more competitive game than most had expected, with the Bulls remaining close throughout much of the contest.
47 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks - 04/19/88
Jordan, playing at Madison Square Garden before a capacity crowd of 19,591, shot 17/23 and had one of the craziest slams ever when he started from the left corner, twisted a few times in midair, then finished by tomahawking the ball through the net. The game was briefly interrupted by a live presentation of the 76ers' Dr. J having his number officially retired in Philadelphia. By putting up 47, Jordan clinched his second straight scoring title. The Knicks were led by Patrick Ewing and Mark Jackson, the runaway choice for the Rookie of the Year.
46 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Detroit Pistons - 05/27/89
With future teammate Dennis Rodman guarding him in Game 3 of the 1989 Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan won the game for the Bulls with the pull-up jumper with three seconds left. The Bulls erased a 13-point deficit in the final six minutes to stun the Pistons and took a 2-1 championship series lead. Chicago kept answering back after each Piston burst, until finally the Bulls went ahead for good in the final seconds, the first time they had led since the second quarter. Isiah Thomas, who had turned in a sparkling performance in previous Pistons' victory, only managed to score 5 points.
45 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz - 06/14/98
At the time it seemed to be a picture-perfect ending to both a Championship series and a legendary career. In the last minute of the game with the Delta Center in a frenzy, when John Stockton passed the ball to Karl Malone, MJ stole the ball away and dribbled into the frontcourt. Guarding him was Bryon Russell, one of the Jazz's best perimeter defenders. Jordan drove inside the 3-point line, crossed him over and hit a 20-foot jump shot that hit nothing but net to give the Bulls an 87-86 lead with 5.2 seconds left. After Stockton's three-point attempt missed, the Bulls had their sixth NBA title in 8 years. Jordan, whose game-winning shot has been immortalized, was named Finals MVP.
44 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers - 05/07/89
"Bulls Win, Bulls Win!!" was the exuberant play-by-play call by announcer "Red" Kerr when MJ's last-second hanging jumper nestled through the net, burying the hopes of the Cavs yet again. Of all the memorable shots that Jordan made in his illustrious career, this might have been his most famous basket; one that we've seen replayed over and over. It came over the hapless Craig Ehlo to win Game 5, 101-100, and eliminate the Cavaliers from the first round of the playoffs.
39 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Portland Trail Blazers - 06/03/92
Bball historians know this game as "The Shrug," a human reaction to a superhuman performance. MJ reportedly wasn't happy about whispers around the league that Clyde Drexler should have won the league's MVP trophy. So he burned Drexler and the Blazers with six 3-pointers and 35 points in an unbelievable first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, where he just couldn't seem to miss. After sinking yet another three-pointer, Jordan looked over at Magic Johnson, who was broadcasting on the game, and gave a sheepish smile and small shrug as if to say, "I don't understand it either." A classic moment.
39 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz - 06/13/97
The Bulls fifth title came courtesy of another brilliant Jordan performance and one of the most famous passes in Finals history. After he beat the Jazz at the buzzer of Game 1, the Bulls expected MJ might be double-teamed with the score tied at 86 near the end of Game 6. The finish was memorable for Jordan's pass to reserve guard Steve Kerr who knocked down an open 17-foot jumper to seal the deal. Replays before the play took place showed Kerr assuring Jordan during a timeout that he would be ready to receive the pass and hit the shot.
38 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz - 06/11/97
The series was tied 2-2 and the 5th game of the Finals was at the frenzied Delta Center. The Jazz had won consecutive games, showing that the Bulls were vulnerable. MJ started the day with flu-like symptoms, and was a game time decision. Battling the debilitating illness, the Jazz and their raucous home crowd, MJ once again put the Bulls on his back and carried them. With 26 seconds left in the game, he drained a three-pointer to seize a lead his team would not surrender, and eventually wrapped up the series in six games.
23 pts - All-Star Game - 02/08/98
A "mano-a-mano" duel between Air and Heir, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant took turns firing up shots in their first All-Star battle. The event was held in New York's Madison Square Garden. The East won the game 135-114 and Jordan earned MVP honors, scoring 23 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, and dishing out 8 assists.
Young Bryant, in an impressive debut (in only his second year), led the Western Conference in scoring with 18 points on 7 for 16 shooting. Larry Bird coached the Eastern Conference team.
16 pts - UNC vs. Georgetown - 03/29/82
The Michael Jordan legend was born with his first major "Shot," which came at the end of one of the best NCAA title games of all-time. Along with junior James Worthy, freshman Jordan led North Carolina to the ACC championship, the regular season No.1 ranking, and the Tar Heels' first championship in 25 years.
Against mighty Georgetown, led by freshman Patrick Ewing, in the Louisiana Superdome, Worthy scored 28 points while Jordan hit the winning jump shot as the Tar Heels edged the Hoyas, 62-61. Worthy, who was named tourney MVP, also received an errant pass in the waning seconds from Georgetown's Fred Brown to secure the victory.

Kobe Bryant - 25 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers - 06/04/00
In a truly intense game, Los Angeles, on the verge of losing three straight games for the first time all season, went on a 15-0 tear in the fourth quarter run to erase a huge Trail Blazer lead and win Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Championships. Kobe took over late in the game, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot, and delivering the game's most climactic moment - an awesome alley-oop to Shaq for a thunderous dunk that brought the house down and sealed the victory. This game marked the beginning of the Lakers dynasty.
31 pts - Rookie Challenge Game - 02/08/97
See a young Kobe's raw skills on display in the 1997 Rookie Challenge Game, held in Cleveland's Gund Arena. In the end, it was East over West, 96 - 91. Allen Iverson, then playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, was the game MVP with 19 points and 9 assists. However, Kobe was clearly better, with 31 points and 8 rebounds. Very fast-paced game.
East Roster: Ray Allen, Marcus Camby, Erick Dampier, Allen Iverson, Kerry Kittles, Vitaly Potapenko, Antoine Walker and John Wallace. Head Coach: Red Auerbach. West Roster: Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Travis Knight, Matt Maloney, Steve Nash, Roy Rogers and Lorenzen Wright. Stephon Marbury and Samaki Walker did not play due to injury. Head Coach: Red Holtzman.
31 pts - All-Star Game - 02/10/02
Booed relentlessly by fans from his Philly hometown, Kobe shook off the negativity and finished the All-Star game with 31 points and the MVP trophy. The West cruised to a 135-120 whipping of the Jordan-led East squad. MJ famously clanked an open dunk in the game. This was the last All-Star Game to feature players wearing their retrospective team jerseys.
