Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest scorers to ever step foot in the NBA, and many of his scoring explosions are still talked about to this day.
Of course his 81-point night will always go down in history. Likewise, Bryant’s 60-point night in the final game of his career was a moment that no one will ever forget. And then there was what happened at Staples Center on Dec. 20, 2005.
The Lakers faced off with the Dallas Mavericks, a team that had one of the best records in the NBA, that would finish with 60 wins, and ultimately reach the NBA Finals.
