Poor Knicks. Everyone scores big on them. Chamberlain scored 100, Baylor scored 71, and Pistol Pete scored 68 when they were all playing against New York.
True although guys like Kobe, LeBron, and Rip scored big at the Garden they were playing against a bottom tier Knicks squad. Not trying to take anything away from them though.
This was the game after he fell into Bynum's knee that resulted in Bynum missing most of the regular season. The Lakers were demoralized as a team and the next game came out and did this. Later in the year Bynum came back and played hobbled in the Playoffs and the Lakers eventually won the Championship.
i love it because i love it when players score huge amounts of points, but i hate it because he broke bernard kings record, and now all bernard will be remember for will be "that one scorer who played on the knicks"
@generalgeewhiz lol melo? dont get me wrong hes good but I can name 20 more pure scorers than melo including people from this era (durant, lebron, wade)
@lakerstr8killurteam respect....kobe the only player in the history of the nba to get the criticism that he does yet still prove time after time through his work ethic which eventually evolves into people respecting his game
and of course he stays on the flour despite is team winning by large margin at a game versus a mediocre team.... phil jackson wouldn 't leave jordan in the game under those circumstances but with kobe he did
Even though Jordan had a greater career and legacy, Kobe's 61 point game is still just as great an achievement as Jordan's 55. Yes, the hype around Jordan at the time was bigger, he had just come out of retirement, and the Knicks were in contention in the 90's, so while Jordan was the GOAT, the difficulty of shots converted in Kobe's 61 game rival even Jordan's 55. Kobe made every type of tough shot, against multiple defenders, off the dribble. MJ>Kobe, but Kobe's 61 just as great a performance.
.....it's not only the 5!!!!!!!! rings, finals MVPs and all the scoring records that put Kobe so much higher then lebron. it's games like this one and the 81 point game that write NBA history. lebron has been in the NBA for 8 years and the best thing he has ever done was ALMOST go 7 games with a SUPER team Vs the mavs....but then lose again VOTE UP BABY
@sLuuugZz kobe doesnt pass because he is not good at it. lebron is way more talented than kobe thats y he can do all the shit he does, but when it comes down to doing what you know best thats kobe and scoring my friend he doesnt force anything like lebron trying to make miracle passes for turnovers against the mavs
@kandrewallen Kobe had 8, 2 and 11 point games in the Finals, though he 2 point game was in only 9 minutes of play. Kobe's career fg% for the Finals is 41.2% and LeBron's is 41.6%, both are bad.
@rocafella115x yes, the scoring records are higher (27k + pts) but that cos kobe has played 15 seasons of the nba and lebron has pleyed 8 (17k + pts) so thats a 7 yr window, lebron has plenty of time to get multiple rings. he will be ripe to break the 20k point mark next season after the lockout, eventually he will pull off a career high game that kobe did. basically kobe = best of this time, lebron = he will have his time
@rocafella115x i love lebron pause...but kobe has had multiple 60 points game that kill any other superstars career high, including lebron's 56 and d.wade's 55
what about kobe playing the knicks 16 years ago.. i will not be surprised if he gets 16. jus like the do or die game 4 of the lakers at dallas this playoffs 11.. he dropped 16, what if he plays against the knicks with the defensive player patrick ewing.? no offense to kobe fan.
@Biniel9 this is where bias overrules sound judgement....Byron Scott, a former laker great, one who averaged 20 points plus during his peak years, said himself in an interview last year when he was introduced as the new head coach for the cavaliers that Kobe was a better player than he was as a rookie and that he would have had just as much success during the 80's than he did during the actual time he's playing in now
@Biniel9 if you're great, your talent will allow you to adapt to any style of play....there's no way anyone can tell me that somebody like Clyde Drexler (who's a top 50 greatest player, a guy I respected), who played during the 80's up to the mid 90's was better than Kobe Bryant, both were shooting guards, Kobe has a way better jump shot, shot a higher percentage from the free throw line, was a better man defender, and was a better closer in the 4th quarter, and more of a killer instinct
@Biniel9 if you're great, your talent will allow you to adapt to any style of play....there's no way anyone can tell me that somebody like Clyde Drexler (who's a top 50 greatest player, a guy I respected), who played during the 80's up to the mid 90's was better than Kobe Bryant, both were shooting guards, Kobe has a way better jump shot, shot a higher percentage from the free throw line, was a better man defender, and was a better closer in the 4th quarter, and more of a killer instinct
@montanamnm that's a very fair assesssment and I'm a kobe fan saying this...Kobe is one of the top 5 greatest ever to play this game. Thru the sheer magnitude of his game, Jordan is the greatest ever
@jasoncheung818 lollll...big brine.......my top 5 would be jordan, kareem at 1 and 2, Kobe at 5....magic/bird are equal in so many ways, bird was a better scorer, magic could play more positions, it comes down to championships, and since magic has the edge at 5-3, magic comes in at #3, russell at #4, bird at #6
This is a great performance, but I must agree with many who have already said it, it's not the same as MJ's 55 in the Garden. With that said, I believe the stage & atmosphere of the Garden is what makes so many players elevate their game when they play in MSG. The intensity always seems to be at its highest level
i wish spike never said double nickle cause now they over usin it. and sound lame when they say it.lol..they should have a counter on this video for how many times they said double nickle like the iverson practice video
@dottibody Spike Lee didn't coined the term 'double nickle' the NBA are already using it right after Jordan scored 55 so it's just right for them to say it everytime because it's that famous.
@cvision17 yeah but kobe making records against shitty teams. how about in the playoffs? like scoring a team of a bad boys pistons/big bad knicks magnitude/seattle-(gary payton) magnitude?? Can any kobetard give the equivalent of a Dennis Rodman/Joe Dumars/Isaiah Thomas combo defense against mike? Mason/John Starks/McDaniels/Rivers Combo ? Gary Payton/Hawkins/Kemp Combo? that Kobe went up against with? Dallas wasn't even in that league as far as defense is concern.
@batoattack Well, you are talking about the 80's and the mid-90's here. No matter what the game is evolving ..Piston were a badass team and everyone knows that. But at this day and age.... you cannot always compare the past with the present. Hanging on to the glory of jordan days is over dude, and stop comparing KOBE with jordan.....
@lethaldose09 the problem is kobe fans compare first. cvision17 said:"Kobe exceeded by 6" now that's comparing ryt there.I'm just trying to bring up a point where kobe really doesnt a score on teams that mattered most like his rivals like against the heat and lebron james somethin like that... because that's how mj did most of his scoring sprees.. against the knicks, pistons, cavs,celts,... and some in the playoffs. MJ could have dropped 100 if his teammates find him each time vs clippers lol
I love kobe and all but this aint like jordan 55pt game. yeah this still is incredible but jordan did that against some hall of fame knicks player nit this scrub team now if he did this now against melo and stadimire, and billups then you could compare evenly
@NBAGOATS..haaaa quit hating nigga go jack off to a goat quit acting like ur all hard talkn online ..LAs the best and u just like a bitch with no ass u aint got shit! o
@NBAGOATS..lmfao look u goat fucking ass nigga! dont hate on kobe cus he has more rings then every nba player TODAY ..if mj was still here hel ball his ass up too lmfao get ur shit straight u internet shit talker come to LA and get ur ass balled by me nigga!
I want to see the pinhead score 61 against the 90s Knicks. He averaged just 19pts vs them. Kobe couldn't handle an era with physical contact night in and night out. MJ era he would be a 41% shooter.
kobe is the fuckn greatest! and im faded as fuck right now and all of u noe that the truth comes out wen ur drunk! kobe is and always will b the BEST!...FUCK MJ AND LEBRON!
@thag00ds You say that without being able to prove it. This makes you into a lustful faggot. Until you can prove it,...its all you'll ever be. Is a faggot. You are a faggot. A homosexual. Someone who likes to get fucked. And you enjoy sucking dick. In particular? Kobe's dick. You little cocksucking faggot.
why must you people hate? 61 is not easy to get on any team, what player has scored 60+ since then and there are were some horrible teams last season you can't tell me the knicks had the weakest team that year and I'm not gonna start on the 81 point game, if you think for one second other players don't try to go off when there hot then you don't watch enough basketball but Kobe just goes off and makes crazy unblockable shots
Funny how kobe's record setting numbers always seem to follow a certain pattern; 81 points against the Raptors and 61 points against a bottom feeder knick team.
@KINGPACER If you're the best in the game or even the best ever as some of Kobe's insane fanatic fans like to think, then why doesn't the best player in the game hit 61 against the top rated defensive team in the league? why only set record high numbers against poor defense?
@kanguesso what lol teams with good d will put four guys on you if they have to and you act like Kobe hasn't put up big numbers on teams with good d the knicks just happen to suck that year and Kobe tourch'ed them for 61 um Lebron is claimed to be the best in the game and he put up 55 , Kobe has blazed many team with good d and if he tried to go for 60 on a team with good d than that would be bad seeing as Gasol and the other teammates need some touches too this ain't the Lakers of 04-05
@facepicker Um try telling the to espn and all the other dumb asses out there I know for a fact he's nowhere close to the best player in the nba but it sells tickets and brings a shit ton of money to the nba Kobe is about to retire in a few years so the nba needs another Jordan, Kobe, ect sorry if I didn't explain myself fully they hype Lebron up cause after Kobe retires why would anyone watch nba I remember when Jordan pushed off Bryan Russel for the game winner straight foul but no call
Who cares if the Knicks weren't that good of a team when Kobe went off they're still a professional NBA team. Its hard enough hittin half those shots in the driveway for most people
The whole whole world knows Michael Jordan is the best player in the leagues history but the closest thing there will ever be to a another Jordan is Kobe. I hate comparing them but if you look at when you needed a clutch shot back then Michael held you down and you know you lost. Kobe so far since #23 retired has been up in that level of just BALLING and being that MAIN GUY
@wornoutshoes11 wow you are clueless aren't you? why dont you go out to the park and try scoring 61 points in 48 minutes with 2nd graders gaurding you. I bet even with that advantage, you still would not be able to score 61 points. Regardless of a bad team, look at the way Kobe scores. They are not just letting him put the ball lin the basket. He earns every point and spends a tremendous amount of energy in doing so. My point is, even 20 is hard to score in the NBA, dont take 61 lightly.
@wornoutshoes11 Practically all his shots are contested...Kobe's just the best in the NBA at creating his own shots. Just look at the play at 7:56, that's a perfect example of that..
This video is Kobe Bryant scores 61 points... I dont remember seeing anything in this video about Michael Jordan Shitting on Kobe or MJ is way better... Talk about MJ when we watch his videos... for now lets talk about how dope Kobe bryant is
The Knicks team when MJ scored 55 was a regular contender in the eastern conference playoffs. This Knicks team was never a good team.They didn't even go to the playoffs. These kind of teams are the teams where Kobe dominates.
@23fann What about when Kobe scored 61 points in three quarters against Dallas and against the great spurs teams and kings teams. Dude you're speaking out of you ass with no facts.
@nitotech Dallas wasn't a great team when Kobe did hey were young and didn't play defense. I don't know about the his game against Spurs and Kings. Were those games it in the playoffs?

I want to see the pinhead score 61 against the 90s Knicks. He averaged just 19pts vs them. Kobe couldn't handle an era with physical contact night in and night out. MJ era he would be a 41% shooter.

why must you people hate? 61 is not easy to get on any team, what player has scored 60+ since then and there are were some horrible teams last season you can't tell me the knicks had the weakest team that year and I'm not gonna start on the 81 point game, if you think for one second other players don't try to go off when there hot then you don't watch enough basketball but Kobe just goes off and makes crazy unblockable shots

KINGPACER 6 months ago
@KINGPACER If you're the best in the game or even the best ever as some of Kobe's insane fanatic fans like to think, then why doesn't the best player in the game hit 61 against the top rated defensive team in the league? why only set record high numbers against poor defense?
kanguesso 6 months ago
@kanguesso what lol teams with good d will put four guys on you if they have to and you act like Kobe hasn't put up big numbers on teams with good d the knicks just happen to suck that year and Kobe tourch'ed them for 61 um Lebron is claimed to be the best in the game and he put up 55 , Kobe has blazed many team with good d and if he tried to go for 60 on a team with good d than that would be bad seeing as Gasol and the other teammates need some touches too this ain't the Lakers of 04-05

@facepicker Um try telling the to espn and all the other dumb asses out there I know for a fact he's nowhere close to the best player in the nba but it sells tickets and brings a shit ton of money to the nba Kobe is about to retire in a few years so the nba needs another Jordan, Kobe, ect sorry if I didn't explain myself fully they hype Lebron up cause after Kobe retires why would anyone watch nba I remember when Jordan pushed off Bryan Russel for the game winner straight foul but no call

The whole whole world knows Michael Jordan is the best player in the leagues history but the closest thing there will ever be to a another Jordan is Kobe. I hate comparing them but if you look at when you needed a clutch shot back then Michael held you down and you know you lost. Kobe so far since #23 retired has been up in that level of just BALLING and being that MAIN GUY

92plana 6 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 wow you are clueless aren't you? why dont you go out to the park and try scoring 61 points in 48 minutes with 2nd graders gaurding you. I bet even with that advantage, you still would not be able to score 61 points. Regardless of a bad team, look at the way Kobe scores. They are not just letting him put the ball lin the basket. He earns every point and spends a tremendous amount of energy in doing so. My point is, even 20 is hard to score in the NBA, dont take 61 lightly.
Angryfatkidd 6 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 Practically all his shots are contested...Kobe's just the best in the NBA at creating his own shots. Just look at the play at 7:56, that's a perfect example of that..

The Knicks team when MJ scored 55 was a regular contender in the eastern conference playoffs. This Knicks team was never a good team.They didn't even go to the playoffs. These kind of teams are the teams where Kobe dominates.
