What was better, Kobes 81pts, or TMacs 13pts in 35?

I was wondering what you guys tthink was better, McGradys 13 points in 35 seconds or Kobes 81 points? Personally I liked TMacs performance. The Rockets were down by 8 with 35 seconds to go, TMac hits 1 3, he hits a 3 and 1, another 3, and the GW 3. Crazy!

Yeah but Kobe outscored the Raps 55-41 in the second half. I think that's the most amazing. TMac did it for 35 seconds, Kobe did it for a whole half.

And I'm going to see them in Toronto!

The TMac performance was quite improbable. After he hit the first couple I thought he was going to miss the last one because theres no way he could have been that hot (I was wrong). As Cable Guy said, Kobe had it going all game long. They were losing by like 18 (check accuracy) and he single-handedly won that game for them, at the same time turning it into a huge win. 81 points is pretty hard to top.

They're each impressive in their own way. One's an incredible night-long performance, the other is an amazingly unlikely turn of events to finish the game. They're both exceptional.

Did you actually see Wilt Chamberlain hit a 100? :lol: How can you call that the best performance when most likely the majority of the forum and probably the entire forum didn't even see that game? For all we know, Wilt could've just had mainly a bunch of dunks in the game and a couple of hookshots :lol:

I dunno but in wilt's 100 pt game, there are some acounts that say the opposing team just let up in the second half. But then again we will never know, because there's no footage of that game.

It'd be difficult to compare kobe's with t-mac's record, because they are both in a category of their own. But for novelty's sake, I'd go with T-macs record hands down, because it is more improbable to be repeated anytime soon.

It's like, mcgrady nails a 3ptr, ang the opposing team just says "that was amazing, here you go sir, have another one". :lol:

I really hope odom picks up after kobe, and actually make something out of himself.

lol... maybe wilt bribed the scorekeepers by saying he'll rape their wives if they don't give him a 100pts.... i remember reading him saying he's slept with 10000 women or something and someone calculated it mathematically and it was impossible because he would have started at the age of 12 and sleep with one every 3 seconds....
PPL r a little feisty these days:D

I don't know why but I don't think you can compare 81 points to 13 points in 35 seconds. 13 in 35min. feels so small compared to Kobe's 81 in 48min. :wink:

Who? Where?

13 in 35min. feels so small compared to Kobe's 81 in 48min.


I don't know...as far as points per second T-Mac's achievement works out to be 1069 points in 48 minutes. :crazy: (Or maybe I'm using the wrong formula)

that was kind of questionable, you could argue he "fouled" the knicks guys to steal the ball. He had his hands on him.

t-mac has never taken shots more than 40, so if he's on fire and takes that many shots, i bet he has a chance :twisted:
t-mac's 13 points in 35 sec is more amazing!!
basically, they just let kobe shoot, while ppl were double teaming t-mac on that day

They're both so unprobably, so amazing, that it's not fair to either of them to try to downgrade one of them by comparing the two.

Did you even see the game? It's not that they let Kobe get the open look. He just hit those fadeaway jumpers with a man right in his face. He is just that good, accept it.
I'm not a bandwagoner and I don't like Kobe too much myself, but a performance like this(as well as T-Mac's) has to be recognized. Noone could have possibly predicted what happened the other night. But right now, thanks to Kobe, Wilt's 100 are not as impossible as they were before.

About 2588 points, seeing as though that effort is almost a point a second. I'm going to go out on a limb and call that one impossible.

No comparison, Kobe hands down. It's not as if what T-Mac did was entirely unique. I mean hell, Rodney Rogers scored 9 in 9 seconds once. I don't see any moderately good rotation players scoring 81 points in a game.

But did he do it at the end of the game with his team down by 10. Did he make a four-point play against the best defensive team in the league? That's what makes the accomplishment so special.
