Kobe Bryant’s Most Defining Moments
1. Making 81 Look Easy vs. The Raptors – 2006
10 years in the league, Kobe wasn’t really surprising anyone on 2006 with his arsenal of weapons on the court. His 26 first half points against Toronto seemed like a pretty par night for Bryant but no one would have predicted he would drop another 27 in the third and finish the game with 81 helping The Lakers overcome a 14-point deficit at halftime and win the game by 18. His 81 is still the second most points in a game only behind Wilt’s 100.
