The late NBA legend Kobe Bryant gave fans a plethora of memorable moments during his career in the league. Considering Kobe had an astounding scoring ability, scoring a lot of points was never a problem for him. And his greatest scoring night came against the Toronto Raptors in 2006 when Bryant erupted for 81 points.
It remains one of the best individual performances in the history of the NBA. Kobe Bryant couldn’t stop scoring in the entire game, and many may have wondered what was the motivation for him behind that. Well, the presence of his grandmother was certainly a plus point for the Mamba.
Although Bryant lived through the night, watching it again must have given a different type of comfort and satisfaction.
Kobe Bryant Loved Watching His 81-Point Explosion Against The Raptors
Every fan loves seeing their favorite player being active on social media. Regardless of the reason, fans love to see the stars in the league open up about their lives and thoughts. Most use Twitter for that, and Kobe Bryant did the same in 2013 when he apparently watched his 81-point performance for the first time.
Bryant had fun while watching his performance and shared his views in the tweets. Even there, he displayed his mamba mentality and talked about missing some easy shots. Bryant tweeted that had he not missed them, he may have even scored 100 points in that game.
Apart from that, Kobe didn’t leave a chance to take a dig at Jalen Rose, who was defending him in that game. Jalen Rose recently reacted to the 17th anniversary of that historical night.
As for Kobe’s full stat line, he recorded 81 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block to help the Lakers win the game with a score of 122-104. Even 17 years later, that night remains most impressive on Kobe’s great list of scoring huge points in games.
