10 years since Kobe dropped 81 on Toronto

I was camping with mates, we just happened to decide to go in to town for a late lunch to avoid the heat for a while and for the first time in days I'd had reception. My phone blew up with text messages as it was happening! I then watched the game when I got back a few days later.
 
Nice story.
I was actually at my old apartment in Cleveland at the time. I was planning to go to Gold Coast for a week in early February, and I was booking tickets online to go there via Sydney. My computer was having a couple of problems, so I got bored and turned on the TV. My computer had now loaded, so I saw a guy from the apartments across from me staring at the TV with wide eyes, so I looked over at was on. It turned out Kobe had 75 points at the time. I was gob smacked, definitely one of the highlights of the decade!
 
I can't remember where I was, but Kobe went crazy. He had some ridiculous games that year. He had 60 at 3 qtr time vs somebody else.

Kobe # 8 was a bad man.

I read that since his 81 point peformance Kobe was the the next highest scorer at 65 points, not sure if that's legit but he's a scoring machine!!!
Here's a few of my favourites

That someone else was the Dallas Mavericks.

At 3/4 time Kobe: 62 v all of Dallas Mavericks 61 :)

Really nice cards by the way!

pretty sure that the 65 pt outburst is correct. I think Melo has come closest at 62. Could be wrong tho.

Depends on how far back you're looking at, David Robinson scored 71 points in '94 (final game of the season to win scoring title).
