Got Higgins’s bs in that one. Team would have smoked anyone. That last 10 minutes was up there with the Auburn elite 8 game.
Glad to see one of our own doing well, but this is exhibit 892 for why I don't care about the NBA. This is akin to 1990's WWE levels of manufacturing something for attention.
Go look at some of the shots he made..... This was no ******** especially the first 3 quarters and his ability to hit 36 damn free throws which is a record.
Furthermore , he Cold blooded drained those free throws over and over in which HE had to have every one of them.
We are talking insane pressure at the end.
That's what I saw
The man SHOULDVE and COULDVE got 100. He missed 15 3's!!! And 20+ twos.
Bam always been a favorite of the fanbase. Good to see.

What happened to Kobe was an absolutely horrific, but he was automatically put into the goat convo simply because he passed away and those same people are the ones salty about Bam passing his mark.
Yes, he shot a lot of free throws. He was double and triple teamed, it happens.
Yes, his team fouled to get the ball back. In the final few minutes, not the entire game like you cry babies are implying.
Yes, I know all of you Kobe/MJ fanboys are BIG mad tonight but that doesn’t change the fact that Bam is now the #1 on the scoring list of documented games.

Nah. They need John Higgins. Meeks had little to do with that. Another of multiple fraudulent titles for UNcheat.
I hope they’re stuck with Hubert Davis for 20 years.
Fwiw, the same thing happened in Wilt’s 100 pt game. Philly was intentionally fouling throughout the 4th quarter to stop the clock solely to get Wilt as many shots as humanly possible. The folks who witnessed the game (there is no video footage) all pretty much admitted it was a farce for that reason.
Kobe is still the only guy to get over 80 in the natural flow of the game without those sort of shenanigans.
I’m not a fanboy of either but Kobe was in goat talks way before his death.. five rings. Closest game to Jordan.
If anything people have tried to take him out of the goat conversation since his death. Luckily there are several NBA players that won’t allow the nonsense.
Yeah I seen that! Even crazier. For some reason I thought it was third.
He would have benched him 4 minutes into the first quarter.
One good thing about it is Kentucky gets to claim this one!! Kentucky player with basically the most points ever in a game because many don’t believe the 100 point game. And even if it happened .. Bams game is incredible.
thanks Bam for representing
This quite possibly the dumbest take in the history of this board (and that is saying a lot).
Did dude seriously say Kobe was only considered one of the all time greats due to dying? Well that's one take. Lol geez.
This is how I know that you Kobe/MJ fans are uneducated and you just go along with what you’re told by ESPN.. 
There’s no way that you all watched his career, watched Shaq carry him to a couple titles and came away saying he’s in the goat convo.
Kobe was considered to be around 5-6 on the goat list and then he died and he automatically got put into the conversation for #1. I could argue that Kobe barely makes the top 5 best Lakers ever, let alone best players overall.
I’d personally take LeBron, Shaq and Magic over Kobe

♂Ngl, I always kind of thought Kobe was elevated after he died as well. He went from top 10 to top 3 and some even saying top 2.
Personally i think #1 and #2 aren’t even debateable.
It’s
1 Jordan
big gap
2 Lebron
even bigger gap
And then in some order
Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Steph, Bird, Shaq, Russell, Kobe, Big O (i feel like i’m forgetting someone)

How many of us saw that coming? Damn playa, save some for the rest of us 
Tremendously impressive, even if he was on the court by himself, 83 points is 83 points

I know Wilt’s happened in 1952, but there had to be 100’s (1000’s?) of witnesses, right?

Ok if you are just saying number 1 then of course he isnt in the convo. I think he's the all time nba team 2nd five starting guard so top 10 all time.
The number 1 spot seems like Jordan vs lebron and Jordan is a clear number 1 to educated basketball fans.
I have no argument whatsoever for Kobe to not be top 10 and if we really dig into things, he maybe top 5. But he is no where near the goat conversation and if you participate in the NBA community, you see someone say it every day.
I have a hard time putting MJ at #1 for many reasons, one being I actually watched his career and saw how much EVERYONE, including the refs, catered to him.
They were rule changes just to make it easier for him. For an example, in 1987 a rule required at least three players to be below the free throw line to limit double teaming him. Later, restrictions on illegal defense enabled more isolation, which favored his style. They were more rule changes over the course of his career to make the game easier for him. They even shortened the 3 point line for a couple years.
All of this requires you to know more than what ESPN headlines tell you so most are ignorant and just go with the flow of what they are told to believe. If you hear MJ is the goat for years but you aren’t actually educated about it ALL, you’re most likely going to jump on the bandwagon and say he’s the goat too.
A lot of lists for GOAT look like this... and I'd argue 2, 3 and 4 are often interchangeable:
I was never a big Kobe fan as I didn't like the Lakers. But I was flat out terrified of him. And if you poll the NBA players over the last 20 years, they all think Kobe was the guy.
- Jordan
- LeBron
- Kareem
- Russell
- Magic

Just because you wasn’t a fan doesn’t mean tons of people have him in the conversation.
Kobe has always been number two for a lot of people. Three at least
"I wasn't a fan" was a qualifier to say that even though I didn't like him I thought he was flat out awesome. And I also mentioned that a ton of NBA players thought he was the best in the league. I'd argue the respect for Kobe from NBA players was greater than LeBron.
Now, to your other point. Sure, a lot of people may think that Kobe is number 2. But those people are clowns. I'm referring to people who really know the NBA (i.e., respected analysts). Not random broke dicks who wear Kobe jerseys out for a nice dinner. I've never seen Kobe higher than 6th in a list by a respected NBA analyst. Most have him somewhere between 8-12.
