KOBE'S HIGHEST-SCORING GAMES
81 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors - 01/22/06
In a historic performance, Kobe Bryant scored an amazing 81 points in front of a raucous home crowd at the Staples Center. It was the second-highest single-game scoring total in NBA history, trailing only Wllt Chamberlain's 100-point game against the New York Knicks in 1962. Bryant shot 28-of-46 from the floor, including 7-of-13 from 3-point range, and 18-of-20 from the foul line. The complete game DVD allows you to view every single point Kobe scored that night. More
65 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers - 03/17/07
Frustrated after seven straight losses, Bryant took matters into his own hands and put up the 4th highest-scoring game in Laker franchise history, helping to defeat the Trail Blazers 116-111. He shot 23-for-39 from the field, 8-for-12 from 3-point range, and 11-for-12 from the free-throw line. It was the second-highest scoring game of Bryant's career and his third with 60 or more points - including the 81-point outing against Toronto on Jan. 22, 2006, at Staples Center. More
62 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks - 12/20/05
Playing only for three quarters, Bryant absolutely dominated the game, outscoring the entire Mavs team, 62-61, before sitting out for the entire fourth quarter in a 112-90 Laker rout. He connected on 18-of-31 shots, including 4-of-10 from the arc and 22-of-25 free throws, scoring 32 points in the first half before a historic 30-point third quarter. Former Laker standout Rick Fox provided an extensive and entertaining in-game commentary. More
61 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks - 02/02/09
Kobe Bryant thrilled a sold-out Madison Square Garden by breaking the arena scoring record with 61 points. The crowd saluting him with "MVP!" chants during the electrifying performance, as the Lakers defeated the Knicks, 126-117. Bryant went past Michael Jordan's record of 55 points by an opposing player when he hit three free throws with four minutes remaining in the game. The previous scoring mark of 60 had been held by Knick legend Bernard King since 1984.
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, joining 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. His explosion, in which he shot 20-of-37 from the floor, missing only one of 18 free throws helped the Lakers down the Memphis Grizzlies 121-119. The complete game DVD includes 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
This triple-OT thriller ended in a 133-124 Laker loss, with Bryant fouling out in the final minute after making two key errors. He scored 58 points in 55 minutes, shooting 22-of-45 from the field. Charlotte center Emeka Okafor pulled down a career-high 25 rebounds and scored 22 points in the franchise's first triple-overtime game. More
NEW!! 55 pts - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Washington Wizards - 03/28/03
In the last face-to-face meeting between Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, Bryant scored 55 points as the Lakers defeated Jordan and the Wizards 108-94. Bryant scored 42 in the first half, at one point putting up 23 points in a row while making nine consecutive shots. Twenty-four of Bryant's first-half points came on 8-of-11 shooting from 3-point range, tying a league record for 3-pointers in a half. Shaquille O'Neal added 26 points, 21 in the second half, and 13 rebounds for the Lakers. Jordan scored 23 points in the loss, and received a standing ovation when he left the game with 2:34 to play.
PRIME 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.
42 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks - 05/17/92
"Whose game is it? It's Michael Jordan's game!" So exclaimed Magic Johnson, who was providing color commentary on one of the most intense games in NBA playoff history; Game 7 between the Bulls and Knicks. Jordan came out "on fire", as Marv Albert would say, setting the pace with aggressive offensive and defensive play. Things got testy in the early going when he and Xavier McDaniel literally went head to head over a disagreement involving Scottie Pippen. In the end, Jordan's overall brilliance was too much for the Knicks as he dipped and swooped his way to 42 points, while Pippen tallied a triple-double - 17 points to go along with 11 rebounds and 11 assists. The Bulls moved on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
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.
31 pts - Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks - 05/05/92
A year after the first championship, the Bulls were on their way to a second straight title when they met up with the physical play of the Knicks led by Patrick Ewing in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Before game one at Chicago, the Bulls were talking about a sweep but tough inside play from Charles Oakley, Xavier McDaniel and Anthony Mason kept the Knicks on top throughout most of the contest. Jordan scored a hard-earned 31 points, but Ewing was the game's dominant force, with 34 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks - leading his team to a stunning first game upset.
OLYMPIC MEN'S BASKETBALL
Which Gold Medal-winning team was better - the 2008 "Redeem Team" or the 1992 "Dream Team"? Find out for yourself by selecting the Gold Medal games for both teams.
2008 Olympics Gold Medal Game - USA vs. Spain - 08/24/08
The so-called "Redeem Team" finished the job they set out to do, by restoring America's primacy in men's basketball - but it was no easy task. The Spanish National Team that was soundly beaten the previous week by the US squad in pool play proved to be a tough, resilient opponent and remained in close contention to win until the last two minutes of the game. Late game heroics by Kobe Bryant helped save the day for the Redeem Team in one of the most exciting Olympic basketball games in recent memory.
2008 Olympics Group B Play - USA vs. Greece - 08/14/08
The Redeem Team passed its first real Olympic test by routing Greece by a score of 92-69. Kobe Bryant and Chris Bosh led the way with 18 points each. Dwyane Wade tallied 17 points, six steals and five assists, and LeBron James chipped in with 13 points, six rebounds and six assists. The win created a U.S. tie with Spain atop the Group B standings, each with a 3-0 record. After being up by just four points as the first quarter ended, the U.S. team outscored Greece 31-16 in the second period, taking a 19-point halftime lead and extinguishing any hopes for a repeat of the stunning Greek 101-96 victory in the semifinals of the 2006 FIBA World Championship.
2008 Olympics Group B Play - USA vs. Spain - 08/16/08
In its widest margin of victory to date, the Redeem Team trounced Spain 119-82 to top the Group B standings as the only undefeated squad, lifting its record to 4-0. Spain fell to 3-1 but still clinched second place. The U.S. ball-hawking defense forced 28 turnovers and its shooters hit 12 of 25 three-pointers to roll out to big leads throughout the game. Eight different U.S. players scored in double figures, led by LeBron James, who had 18 points and eight assists. Dwayne Wade and Carmello Anthony had 16 each and Chris Paul added 14 for the winners.
1992 Olympics Gold Medal Game - USA vs. Croatia - 08/08/92
Popularly known as the greatest team assembled in any sport, the first Dream Team, led by Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was truly a dominant force in the Barcelona Olympics. Although most will recall the team's absurdly high margin of victory over clearly overmatched opponents, the Gold Medal game was actually a tight contest in the early going. A Croatian team led by the late Drazen Petrovic and the then-best player in Europe, Tony Kukoc, actually led the US squad 25-23 early in the first half and continued to play in a spirited, non-intimidated fashion throughout the game. The expected end result was a coronation, of sorts, and like with the Redeem Team's victory, placed America at the top of the men's basketball heap after the failure to win the Gold by college players in 1988.
