Bryant’s 81 points second-highest total in NBA history

Let us forget, for a moment, that those were the same Toronto Raptors who lost to a European club team in the preseason. And let us not dwell on the fact that Toronto, for reasons unfathomable, was not immediately doubling a guy who was in the process of jacking up 46 shot attempts. What Kobe Bryant did at Staples Center Sunday night was remarkable -- something only he, among NBA players, could have done.
He didn't score 81 just because he's the premier scoring talent of the post-Michael generation (even less-celebrated, he's the NBA's best midrange jumpshooter). And he didn't do it because he's on a team that might have a hard time winning in the Pac-10 without him, though that is also the case. What allowed Bryant to score 81 last night is a unique mindset that might best be described as imperial.
Final Score:
Lakers :122
Raptors:104

Chamberlain. He scored 100 points for Philadelphia against the Knicks in 1962. His second-highest total was 78 against the Lakers in three overtimes on Dec. 8, 1961. Then we got David Robinson, Former San Antonio Spurs who scored 71.
