The Game When Kobe Bryant Became The BLACK Mamba, 62 Points in 3 Quarters | December 20, 2005

Take a look at full game highlights by Kobe Bryant who scored 62 points in 3 Quarters against the Dallas Mavericks | December 20, 2005

[@outsidergua]

62 points in 3 quarters. Happiest day of my life, I remember it vividly, December 20 2005, the same night my daughter was born. Farewell Kobes 😢

[@blaznpride18]

So dope! Every time your daughter's birthday comes around you'll know that Kobe dropped 62 in 3 quarters on that day.

[@nat570]

If he played the 4th he would have scored more than 81 points

[@JG-jh4fh]

Try to compare this to today's NBA, it's like it keeps getting worse imo. I grew up with AI and Kobe so maybe it's just me. And I watched all Jordan archives and just basketball in general, the fouls come too easy now. Durant is imo the only one if he really wanted to could destroy nba, Giannas too, and a few others but it seems like the spacing is fukd up or something idk. This was more entertaining

[@prooftv1174]

He would have had at least 100

Yeah he was on pace for 83

Kobe in his prime played in the most stacked western conference, having beaten more 50+ win teams than Jordan and LeBron (no hate to those two legends). On the all time scoring list coming off the bench first 3 years of his career, Kobe in his prime in today's game would be too much

[@turtleislandlac1490]

@@jhoodrico569 Because Dirk is such a great defender? Since you're obviously a Kobe backer, before the 2005-2006 season you should see Kobe's stats vs. Top 5 defenses. They're really bad. I mean mediocre, although he had some good games in between. This is just the 2004-2005 season, (I've found more) Against the Spurs 8 of 22, 35%. vs. the Grizzlies 4 of 19, 21%, vs. the Rockets 7 of 20, 35%, vs. the Grizzlies 2 of 16, 12.5%, vs. the Spurs, 5 of 16, 31%, vs. the Spurs 6 of 19, 17%, vs. the Grizzlies 4 of 8 (Only played 14 minutes in a blowout loss, vs. the Rockets, 4 of 19, 21%. Good shooting games vs. a Top 5 defense: vs. the Rockets in January 2005, 10 of 19 for 27 points in a Lakers win. 6 of 12 for 20 points in a blowout loss to Detroit. 12 of 24 for 37 points in a win over the Pacers was his best. Reggie Miller was 5 of 16 for 11 points. BUT Reggie would get him back when Kobe went 5 of 14, 36% 12 points to Reggie Miller's 13 of 18 for 39 points. And Reggie was 39 years old.

donjuan914 yeah man he went crazy! the Mavs went to the finals this year too. Out scored a championship caliber team while playing with “kaw-ma brown” speaks volumes

[@Mattedmz]

Same, I feel like he was more in a zone this game & looked more fluid... The 81 game was a bit forced cos he had planned it & said his knee was bothering him, but still great nonetheless. I feel like he wouldve got 90 this game tho!

[@warrior4958]

This was at a time when scoring 40 would put you on the front page of the paper. It amazes me how these analysts such as Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe use stats to literally try to sabotage Kobe's career and then apologize profusely when he passes because they know they will never have an opportunity to apologize to his face now that he's dead. It's pathetic the amount of hate and disrespect Kobe received because simply people didn't like him or he was in the way of your favorite player being recognized as an all-time great, for example Lebron. Kobe was the best player in 2000-2010 decade, and to be honest it is not even debateable. He went to the finals 7 times and won 5 rings in 10 fucking years. It hurts so bad knowing how someone so skilled and talented will forever have a career tarnished because of other people's greed and selfishness.

[@isaiahcampbell3992]

I wish I was watching basketball during that era. I was a kid and didn’t really get into basketball till 2010(the end of the Kobe Era). Despite that, Kobe was pretty much known by everyone when I was younger regardless of if you watched basketball or not. The guy is iconic.

Man on a Mission Kobe was the poster boy for the NBA for majority of his career was always praised & called the “best player on the planet” with the only player capable of rivaling his talent being Lebron James, the off the court antics is a different story but as far as ON COURT in the game of basketball, Kobe has always been held in high regards & called the next “MJ”

I used is because he is here and when i watch his videos now i hope that he know now how he is a living legend that has a big impact on Arabian guy that he never forget kobe is greatest not to his sportsmanship but to his humanity
