I would like to title this "MR. 81 Pointer."


Listen "Men Lie, Women Lie, but numbers don't!"

The Los Angeles Lakers' star scored a phenomenal 81 points -- the second-highest total in NBA history -- in a 122-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Only Wilt Chamberlain's storied 100-point game nearly 44 years ago ranks higher. But this is not what really matters...I just wanted to mention it,lol. Bottom line is, that it is to hard to compare these two players to see who was better, because each one had higher strengths in one area over the other as you will see in the stats I have provided below,not to mention you have a whole boatload of things to factors in such as injuries, supporting team members, and the quality of players that both of these players went up against in their own respective times...

No given the fact that KOBE never had the opportunity to go to college and give his game that collegiate preparation that many may say he never needed...but still Jordan received that preparation which is something that needs to be pointed out...who knows how much better Kobe may have been out after a collegiate atmosphere, given his excellence just right out of high school.


These are Jordans stats
