I feel like the record shouldnt be given to the player, but to the team who gave it up. As a "congratulations, your teams piss poor defense is now famous!"
Everyone remembers Kobe's 81 was against the Raptors, and that was like half a decade ago.
just looked at that box score...
Lakers starting lineup: Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm, Smush Parker, Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant. (& nothing off the bench).
There was literally only 1 guy they had to worry about. 1 guy. So what do they do? let him score 55 in the second half. SMH. And to think the Raptors' head coach
won coach of the year the following season...
From the game recap:
"We were just watching him shoot," Toronto's Chris Bosh said. Thanks captain obvious. And nice 18 pts / getting out-rebounded by Kwame Brown, lol.
