Every fan of the Los Angeles Lakers remembers Kobe Bryant's 81-point game, arguably the greatest individual scoring performance in NBA history. Bryant took 46 shots against the Toronto Raptors that day, 35 more than the next closest Laker, point guard Smush Parker. What most people forget, given the legendary nature of Bryant's scoring outburst, was how the Lakers tried to feed a different player during the first half.
With Friday being the 10th anniversary of Kobe's explosion, there has been a deluge of memorials, breakdowns, and retroactive eyewitness accounts by those who were there or recently re-watched it.
