Has there ever been a player that could single handedly win?

Most great players have had a solid supporting cast - I've watched the 81 game multiple times now and Kobe Bryant just single handedly beat the Raptors with hardly any help from his teammates. Has there ever been another player that could, pretty much on his own, lead his team from 18 down in the 2nd half to victory like Kobe did?

wilt?

shame on that. We need teamwork.

jordan, wilt

but we dont want that...we want team work...team work goes a lot further

we won because of the defence!!!!!! not because of single handed kobe.

watch the game again and focus on the defence on the 2nd half compared to the 1st half...

smush even said we won because of defence... and i agree with him.

no team makes a comeback unless they play defence.

In most cases, the defense sparks the offense. But in this case, the offense actually sparked the defense. Once the team noticed they could actually win the game(cause of kobe's hot streak), they actually started to play better defense.

Single handedly? So did he score all the Laker points? No one, ever, will single handedly score every point and carry the team to victory. There is always help from a teamate, even its just 5 points from 7 other guys.
