🏀20 Years Ago, Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant Made History

20 years ago today, Bryant made history. On Jan. 22, 2006 he scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. Bryant’s 81-point performance is the most all-time in a game by any player in the Los Angeles Lakers organization. He is currently second all-time in most points in a game by a player, behind Wilt Chamberlain who scored 100.

Bryant’s performance that game was legendary and many still remember that remarkable performance like it happened yesterday.

The Lakers defeated the Raptors 122-104 as Bryant scored a majority of the points while his team contributed a combined total of 41 points. Bryant started the game off hot, scoring 14 points in the first quarter. He followed that up with a 12-point second quarter as he was clicking on all cylinders and scoring at will.

During the second half, he turned things up a notch. Bryant went off in the third quarter finishing with 27 points bringing his total to 53 and in the fourth quarter he continued to attack and make shots scoring 28 points bringing the final total to 81. He shot 60 percent from the field and 53 percent from three. Bryant also made a total of 18 free throws.

Five years after his prolific performance, Bryant talked about the mindset he had going into that game. “I just remember we were down 16 points to a bad Raptors team and we had just lost I think to Houston the game before and it was just kind of doom and gloom. We needed to win and I just got hot,” Bryant said in an ESPN article.

“I really don’t think about it too much,” Bryant added. “I still don’t know how the hell it happened, to be honest with you. It’s just one of those things, I guess.”

That performance against Toronto just adds to the many great performances that Bryant had over the course of his career and for Bryant, it was just another game.
