On his Sirius satellite radio show, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he would have never expected any player in this era to score 81 points in a game. Asked if Bryant's 81 was more difficult than Wilt Chamberlain's 100, Jackson said: "Yes, it is. (New York Knicks center) Darrall Imhoff was interviewed about it. Darrall said he (Chamberlain) was fed the ball every single time he came down the court and he turned and shot it every single time."

I dont know if its been mentioned in any of the other dozens of pages, but do you guys realize that kobe's 81 is the greatest offensive performance ever seen...literally. Wilt's wasn't recorded on television. I dont think theres even a radio play by play, only a broadcast about the actual 100. (did it really happen? Im sure it did, just speculating thats all.)

for sure. very good chance that all wilt's buckets came from 10-12 feet and in. that might even be a stretch. kobe was hitting shots from literally every spot on the (half) court.

Yes there was. No television broadcast. Just photography, legendary aura, and audio.
