What is more legendary than the Mamba's first 40 point game?





That voice of Chick Hearn

[kushboy]

I'd cry inside when Kobe hangs up his Jersey & tells us all goodbye

[emjay]

I remember that like it was yesterday. Truly Great performance by the third greatest player of All time

[gamo-LT-fut]

[cjmcdonald]

When is the NBA going to release a Kobe Bryant dvd?

[Oldskoolbball]

It took Kobe Bryant 4 seasons to get his first 40 plus game.

Michael Jordan in his rookie year, his 9th game scored 45 points vs. George Gervin and Artis Gilmore's Spurs.

Going to be a sad day when all these players retire!!! :(

[Bobijsshmurda]

Next Kobes first 80 point game :D:D:D:D:D

Quando c'era jordan, quando c'era kobe, ora sono in tanti

Would have loved to see a Vince Carter 40pt one mixed in as well..he deserves to be on the list (although not as great as the others)
