well, if you ask me …

On January 22, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single NBA game. This is an amazing feat which one can’t help compare to Wilt’s 100 point game. A Sports Illustrated article which reminds us of the difference in stature between the two players even prompted some to hail Kobe’s performance as superior given he is six inches shorter than Wilt. While I think this is a ridiculuos idea, I couldn’t help but put together a spreadsheet to determine what it takes to “break the record.” I factored in three point shots while I was at it. Of course, I couldn’t resist an online version as well.:)On a related note, I read another interesting article about a man who gave up tickets to see Wilt’s 100 and Kobe’s 81!
