So what do you guys think about this?

I can't stand the guy, but I gotta give him his props. Freakin unbelievable performance. I can't even score 81 points in a video game.

is this toss ball? - did one guy score 81? - that does sound pretty impresive in 1 game?

basketball. Yes.. and he even had time for 2 assists.

'scuse my ignorance (I know nothing

), but what would be an average score in a game, by way of comparision?

In pro basketball, people go "wow" when someone scores 50. 60, people are shocked. But 81??? That's just unreal. Like I said, I can't even do that in a video game, where you can pretty much do the impossible.

The last time someone scored that much was only once, by Wilt Chamberlain when games were in black and white TV. And Wilt was a seven foot monster playing against skinny white guys when he did it.

So he ran around the pitch (diamond?) 81 times, or he hit the ball out of the park 81 times? Is that like a touchdown?

Sounds like he chucked it through the net enough times to score 81 points. I think you get two points if you get it in from up close and 3 if you get it in from outside the area... or something?

But why do they have to wear all that padding?

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 4:40 pm

In case they fall over on the ice, I think...

no i think its to stop them grazing their knees on the grass when they do that sliding thing.

It's actually when that bowler guy swings his arm in that big circle and hits down those sticks (stickets?) while that guy swings at the ball with a flat board.

Abort topic. Abort! Abort!

Ok seriously, I know there is basketball around the world so Im going to try to steer this back on track. Average points scored by an NBA team is around 81 points.. thats per TEAM. One man did that

i'm sorry, you're right.

So back on topic, why do they have to wear all that padding?

at a lower level of football tho.

Back to basketball, I understand that its a team game but the way its played tends to lend to one or two men scoring no?

out of interest, didnt M.Jordan ever achive somthing similar?

No, the highest Jordan ever scored in a game was 69.

It was the FA Cup! The most prestigious competition in the history of forever!

Or at least that's what the BBC told me.

Is Jordan regarded as the best basketballplayer ever?

Yes

One of her lesser-known qualities that attracted Peter Andre.

Ok, either way its more impressive then the 81 this Kobe did!

Ok thats just ridiculous. I cant stand Kobe but that is freakin amazing. It really is frustrating that any and everytime we talk about a sport that interests us you look down your noses at us like 'there is no sport other than our football'

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:01 pm

I'm not sure what padding Besters keeps talking about...

The way we play it here in sweden you just wear shorts and a thin net-shirt, and as far as I can see, it seems to be the same in the USA.

Granted, I don't really know much about Bascet-ball, only how one did it in gym-class. Incidentally I hate ALL ball-games equally.

No, wait. I think Ping-pong can acctually be enjoyable with the right mates, for some nonsense pinging-around-everywhere ball-play.

Hey, I was just making a little fun here, I think English football is pretty ridiculous too.

Yes, I definitely prefer Brazilian or Argentinian.

Returning to the topic, is frankly incredible he managed to score that amount of points!! And taking in mind the very competitive nature of the game and -furthermore- the abbilities of the rest of the players. After all he didnt face amateurs.
