Kobe Bryant Full Highlights
LA Lakers vs GS Warriors
March 3, 2006
Oakland Arena

42 pts, 5a, 4r, 3s / 11-29 fg, 4-8 3pt, 16-18 ft

Golden State was the Lakers’ 59th game of the 2005-06 season, it was Kobe’s 57th. He entered the night with an insane scoring average of 34.9, complimented by 5.4r and 4.7a on 45-35-84 (%). This matchup was the 1st of 4 straight games in which Kobe posted 40+ points. He accomplished 4 straight 40+ three separate times during the ‘06 campaign:

Dec 28 - Jan 11 (5 games) - 45, 48, 50, 45, 41
Mar 3 - Mar 8 (4 games) - 42, 40, 43, 40
Mar 31 - Apr 7 (4 games) - 43, 43, 42, 51

Kobe’s 81 came six weeks prior to March 3rd in Oakland. The Warriors broadcast showed a stat during the game that compared Chamberlain’s 100 to Kobe’s 81. I didn’t include the segment in the video, but it looked like this:

Wilt’s 100 - 48:00 min, 63 fga, 59% of team’s pts
Kobe’s 81 - 41:56 min, 46 fga, 66% of team’s pts
