Kobe Live Tweets 81
Only one living NBA player has ever scored 81 points in a game.
On Jan. 22, Kobe Bryant hit 28 of 46 field goals (7 of 13 threes) and 18 of 20 free throws against Toronto in a 122-104 win, showing
the full power of his scoring arsenal against a hapless defense.
NBA TV re-aired the game on Tuesday afternoon, and Bryant took to his new @kobebryant Twitter account to offer his commentary
as the ball went through the Raptors net over and over again.
Here's what Kobe had to say:
