Garden party: Kobe’s 61 sets MSG record

[Betallsports]

NEW YORK (AP)—Kobe Bryant broke the current Madison Square Garden record with 61 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers looked plenty potent without Andrew Bynum in a 126-117 victory over the New York Knicks on Monday night.
Bryant teased and pleased a sold-out crowd that took turns booing him and saluting him during an electrifying performance with chants of “MVP! MVP!” He passed Michael Jordan’s opponent record of 55 points at the present building, known as “Garden IV,” when he hit three free throws with 3:56 remaining, then bettered Bernard King’s mark of 60, set on Christmas Day 1984, with two more foul shots with 2:33 to play.
Bryant, who also finished with the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, left to a loud ovation after the 24th 50-point game of his career.

I would have to agree with you. Can't really figure it out myself. :think2:

 

[HOBOJOE]

for real. the man is a fucking beast...its as if he hasn't even peaked yet

 

[budlight]

the mvp award is almost a joke... my vote would be to throw it out. its a team sport. team effort to win. selfish and useless award.

besides its usually always too controversial

but either way good night for kobe congrats to him

Huge laker fan kobe is my favorite player and im not trying to take anything away from him but i am more impressed with 11 free throws in about 3 min and why was he was still in the game with 3 min left up by 20, guess he really was chasing that record. Either way Congratulations to him he earned it
