Kobe Bryant 36 points in SPL vs Suns 1996-97 *VERY RARE

July ??? 1996
The Pyramid Long Beach State Arena
Long Beach, CA

No Boxscore

Statline: In about 38 minutes: 36 points, 5 assists, 9-22 FG, 1-2 3PT, 17-21 FT, 7 TO's

Background: This was another one of Kobe Bryant's rookie Summer Pro League Games. Unlike the SPL game against China, this game was played in an NBA-like 48 minute game split into 4 quarters. Once again, most of these games were never broadcasted by the NBA but were filmed by scouts and teams for player evaluating purposes. The game is filmed from a fan's viewpoint, no scoreboards, watermarks, replays, or play by play announcers.

Note: Kobe Bryant, who was not even a legal adult at the time, is wearing number 32 in this video

Note 2: Derek Fisher is also in this video as number 9

I wonder if those people in the stands knew that they were watching a future NBA All-Time Great that day.

@ironlemmy

That's a great point. Athleticism is the main thing that always separated KB and MJ. Jordan's ability to finish is unmatched
