I was a witness to that game when it was Live...... WOW. That year Kobe was on a mission. NBA players knew it too. He had a streak of 40+ that year! It was spectacular!

[@choward5430]

I also witnessed it!

[@frankiefernandez9225]

Kobe is pure Greatness

[@terryalan4590]

Kobe would score over 100 in todays no defense league

[@RealInvinsible]

Easily

[@aaronwin33]

He could've scored 100 in 2006 if he literally took every single shot like he did in his last game in 2016.

Kobes the 🐐

[@GS-mh6ub]

Kobe Bean Bryant is truly GOATED! If he's not in your top three your delusional.

[@Garrrrry5]

SAS: How’s everything SM: another day above the dirt so life is good Real.

Rip Kobe miss you mamba

[@chikabarrah1667]

Despite all of this , Stephen A smith still says kobe isnt top 3 ? Kobe is top 3 all time .... its undisputable

[@GS-mh6ub]

Facts‼️

[@bekimcachero4683]

I wouldve named my first child Sam Mitchel if she came out as a boy. I was not impressed by his offense when he was still playing. but I like how smart he was doing his role, specially at the defensive end of the court.

[@ballislifedadecounty]

Stephen A always says I listen to those who knows more, but when ppl in the league etc tell you kobes in the goat convo he brush pass it

[@iconic_dubois]

The 81 pose forever captured Sam!

[@timt6108]

Clippers have 4 All Stars on the team. If they can not win it, what are their excuses this time?

[@thereasonwhy5188]

Then you never seen airjordan play He is the epitome of off balance shots

[@jiujitsujedi]

Hey Sam Mitchell Los Angeles, wil always be Lakertown.

[@teemoney5970]

Those names he named is the only players don’t take days off

[@Ewebster601]

Stephen spoke so High of Russell, what the hell did Skip have against Russell? Skip hated Russell and compared him to a point guard in a basketball church League.

[@choward5430]

Kobe was stronger in the game against Dallas when he had 62 after 3 quarters. It was THAT game I know he wouldve exceeded 85. We were robbed!

[@bekimcachero4683]

but kobe didnt care about him sitting the last quarter out. what he was happy about was they're winning

[@choward5430]

@@bekimcachero4683 True. They were up a lot at the end of the 3rd quarter. I just wanted to see what he would do in the 4th.

[@bekimcachero4683]

@@choward5430 My guts tell me he could've 90 or close to it

[@jiujitsujedi]

If he would be around 90 during the fourth. He would have went for the century mark.

[@choward5430]

@@jiujitsujedi I think 85-90 was possible. 100 would literally mean Dallas caved in. 80+ is bad enough!

[@nikolaininkov]

SAS gotta be joking me with that noise of LBJ to NYK. The Knickerbockers would be stupid to trade anything for a 40 year old player on the downside of his career, who is the past of the NBA, not the future.

[@bekimcachero4683]

Am All About Winning Championships

[@calliewillis9694]

SAS i don’t care if the Clippers win the championship this season they will never be the mecca of Los Angeles. And remember never count the Lakers. Also remember you got on Russ for his nonchalant attitude not caring about winning. Also he did throw Vogel under the bus every though Vogel refused to bench him.

Who 😮

Someone going to soon young. Im sad about mamba and his daughter and the others. But babies die everyday g.o h
