Posted by Vin Getz
Kobe Bryant scored 40 points again last night, this time against the Utah Jazz. The previous night, Black Mamba poured in 48 against the Phoenix Suns. The L.A. Lakers won both games and have improved their record to 8-4.
Bryant has scored at least 50 points in a game 25 times. His all-time high is a whopping 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, second most points all-time behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 in 1962.
Here’s a list of Bryant’s highest scoring games. He has knocked down at least 50 against 17 different teams (and counting, probably…).
