In regards to the world of Basketball, January 22nd is a legendary date. 12 years ago yesterday, Kobe Bryant recorded the second highest in-game point total in NBA history with 81 points scored. To this day, it remains one of the most iconic/ legendary performances since the NBA was established back in 1946. Every year since, social media and sporting platforms pay tribute to the incredible feat by posting countless videos highlighting each point from Kobe’s stellar night. While January 22nd has since been a day of paying tribute to history of old, it appears as though history has been made yet again as New Orleans Pelicans star center DeMarcus Cousins clocked in a performance not seen in over 40 years.
