You guys are bugging if you think Kobes 81 was better than Wilts 100. Ya sure Wilt seemed like a man against boys at the time but to think he had 100 pts in a game WITHOUT A 3 POINT LINE. He HAD to of made 50 shots and lets no forget free throws which he set the record w/ free throws made that game as well. Not to mention Wilt had already broken the previous record of 71 pts in a game that season but scoring 78. Also since were talking about how 55 rebounds in a game will never be broken (Which is true) Same w/ Wilts 50.4 pts per game that season will never be broken. Ya it was in triple OT but Kobe was also playing the raptors haha. Also to say that Wilt had "No competition or was playing with small dudes" is crazy that was an era of Bill Russell, Kareem, Counts, Halbroke, Moore, Thurmond, Bowman and the list goes on of big guys over 6ft11 who could play
