All 81 point Kobe proved was that he couldn't make the players around him better like LeBron was doing in Cleveland, couldn't win without all-star caliber talent surrounding him and just whined to management and threatened to leave them.
Basically all that's here is that you prefer to watch Kobe just stroke it when he's feeling it rather than LeBron pick and tear apart a defense. Because outside of a much purer jumpshot, LeBron takes him everywhere else.
I don't know really see why you're against MJ/Bron. Virtually the same player except Jordan's mid range game is better, and LeBron has a better post up ability and passing game. But other than that they were both unstoppable taking it to the rack, mediocre three point shooters, elite defenders, etc.

Same player?
LeBron is a better passer, a better rebounder and Jordan was a better scorer and had more drive. Basically the same comparison to Kobe.
Kobe scoring 81 shows that he can do it what it takes to win. No one has scored 81 since Wilt scored 100. That's saying something.

The difference is you sit there and act like Kobe put the cape on and supernaturally played beyond himself just to win that game, where I see Kobe just being hot, didn't need the final 15-20 points, but was forcing contact and shooting there's early in the shot clock in the final five minutes just to add to the total.
If he did that like once a month and broke out for 65+, I'd agree with you, but it wasn't him "elevating his game" for the win, it was just a hot shooting night.
Kobe early this year averaged waaaay more shots per game than whoever was the closest second to him and with a farrrrr better team than when he scored 81, scored about half of that in his "breakout performances"...also lead the Lakers to a pretty shitty record with that style of play.

lol@"couldnt make the players around him better"...he took kwame, luke, and smush to the playoffs! and they all had their best years playing next to kobe.
i'll take it a step further and say kobe is a better passer than lebron. is he as willing a passer? no. but if kobe wanted, he could average 9+ assists per game, and he already proved this when the lakers needed him to. he's simply not as passive as lebron on offense, but still puts up great assist numbers for a shooting guard. he's also more of a leader than lebron..lebron likes to fall back in the shadows and go unnoticeable for long stretches. kobe is an in-your-face leader who demands perfection at all times ala jordan, and even is seen as an extension of the coach when addressing teammates. why do u think kobe was the leader of those olympic teams? come on, now.
