What? No threads about Kobe's 81 points he scored last night?

[CatWoman]

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

1. It was only second to Wilt Chamberlin's 100 point score

back in the day!

[LynneSin]

2. Ironic that both players scored alot in other areas too

:eyes:

[Shell Beau]

3. Very true. I think Wilt is ahead in that dept. too!

[LynneSin]

4. I think if you combined the totals from everyone on the current Lakers....

you still probably wouldn't even be halfway near the numbers that Wilt Chamberlin claimed!

[jobycom]

6. Key word there... claimed.

Man had an ego...

[SaveElmer]

10. Wilt asked my mother out on a date...no joke...

My mother was in college at North Dakota State University. Wilt was with the Glodetrotters then I believe. My mother met him after the game and he asked her out. She refused, but had a story to tell the rest of her years!

[LynneSin]

11. Geez, my mom's claim to fame was dating the owner of a reptile farm

Not kidding!! I think the Wilt Chamberlin one is definately much more interesting!

[aclog]

5. well its kind lame

I could probably score 80 pts too if I was allowed/encouraged to heave 80 shots a game...

[Beer Snob-50]

7. kobe bryant is half the man as well as half the player

that wilt the stilt was. wilt banged anything in a skirt, but i don't know if rape was involved at all.

[0007]

21. If hookers didn't count his score would be less than average.

[Beware the Beast Man]

What's that have to do with the Steelers?

:P

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

9. LOL.

So true.

[jobycom]

8. Didn't hear! Wow! That's impressive. Who's Kobe?

Oh, I know who he is. He's that guy that speaks Italian in that commercial! Plus he co-stared in Be Cool. Sort of.

[underpants]

12. Pay not attention to basketball before Ground hog Day

it's an old rule but I find that it works.

[leftofthedial]

13. Kobe already proved here in Colorado

that he can score

[nini]

14. It was impressive

but because people hate him he won't get the props he deserves.

As a Laker fan I admire his talent. His personal life is his wife's concern - kinda like Bill and HIllary.

[CatWoman]

15. I never did believe he raped that girl

Kobe, not Bill :D

[nini]

17. I didn't either.. He may have been really STUPID

I wasn't sure at first, but the more I heard the more she just got more than she bargained for - that's the nicest way I can say what I'm thinking.

However, he should have been in that situation in the first place.. that was DUMB.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. Who gives a shit?

:shrug:

:evilgrin:

Though I must say, 81 points is impressive... But the whole fucking game of basketball just makes me...so...sleepy....

[StaggerLee]

18. It is impressive. Too bad the Pistons are the only team with any D

19. My two Wilt Chamberlin stories

First, it was a hot summer day, I was walking into a gourmet Italian grocery with my visiting parents, in Santa Moncia, CA. I almost ran into the biggest black guy I had ever seen, who was walking out when I was walking in. I seemed to be staring at his bare navel. He wore no shirt or shoes, but apparently got service in the store. As I craned my neck back, way back to see the face of this very tall guy, I realized I was looking at Wilt Chamberlin.

A year or two later, I went out for seafood for some friends at Gladstones For Fish, a famous seafood place on the edge of Malibu. Chamberlin came to the restaurant so often that he had his own special parking place by the door for his Lamborghini. I had to go over and take a look at the car, of course.

When I looked into the driver's side, I saw that the expensive contour drivers seat had been taken out, and old floral sofa cushions had been substituted, like something one would find in a thrift shop. Chamberlin was driving his Lamborghini while lying on old sofa cushions.

and then there was the time I got stuck behing O.J. in his Ferrari Testarossa on Wilshire Boulevard ....

[ProfessorGAC]

20. I'll Admit. That's Pretty Amazing!

And, they won the game. So, it wasn't all for the stats.

Of course, if they want to win, they might need him to shoot 46 times a game, every game. Because the rest of that team can be summed up in two words: Not good. (Don't nobody guard nobody on that team.)

22. 81 points and TWO assists (I looked it up)

Typical Kobe game -- except for the points.
John
Meanwhile, the Pistons are 33-5 and probably won't have a single All-Star game starter.

[WeRQ4U]

23. He's a stat man on a mediocre basketball team.

And he shot 46 times and dished twice. Not that impressive to me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. He may have 'dished' a lot more than that

Thing is, to get an assist, the other guy has to make the shot.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. A bit of trivia about Chamberlain's 100-point game

•He didn't get any sleep the night before. (Yes, sex was part of the reason.)

•Chamberlain, one of the worst foul shooters in NBA history (51 percent lifetime), went 28 for 32 from the line that night. From the floor, he was 36 for 63.

•He got 31 points in the fourth quarter.

•He averaged 50.4 points per game that season.

•Final score, believe it or not: Philadelphia 169, New York 147.

Edit: Oops. Didn't mean to reply to my own post. :blush:

[WeRQ4U]

30. BS, if you touch the ball 60 times, you can ACCIDENTALLY get 5 assists.

It just doesn't impress me. Kobe doesn't impress me. I can't stand him or the way he plays basketball.

[northzax]

24. well, there are three, in this little forum we like to call...

the Sports Forum.

[fishwax]

27. pretty amazing performance

:wow:

[pokerfan]

28. Bryant and Parker combined for 94 points!

:D

[driver8]

29. I can't stand Kobe -- he's a spoiled brat and a cry baby. I am

also glad that the other cry baby, Shaq, decided to leave town.

I cannot stand the Lakers.

[CatWoman]

31. what's all this laker hating on this thread???

:D

[nini]

32. because the Lakers have had so much success?

And it's the 'kick 'em while they're down' mentality?

:shrug: :D


I find it funny to be honest with you. Not all Laker fans are fair weather fans. I've been a fan since the early 70s and have ridden the roller coaster with them. Lots of success, lots of idiots and lots of not so great seasons. That's the name of the game.

[driver8]

33. Nope -- not that at all. I live in Los Angeles and got so tired reading

about these spoiled brats in the paper every freakin' day.

Play the game, get paid your millions and millions of dollars, and quit whining because the other baby got more attention than you.

The Lakers sent Kobe to Colorado for his trial on a private jet and he complained that it wasn't good enough. Awww...gee Kobe, that's just too bad.

[LSK]

34. did you see what Steven Colbert did in honor of that???

Kobe is the #3 threat because Michael Jordan might not be the greatest player of all time.

Kobe better stop boing so good!

:rofl:
