Good, God, that was a great game, but who's the best is more than one game. Kobe was never able to score more than 63 points in the playoffs against a legendary team like the Celtics. That's a great game against a great team and I'd take Michael Jordan on that night over Kobe in the Raptors game. Let's see, scoring 81 against such legendary defenders like Jalen Rose (we all know Jalen only cared about one side of the ball), Matt Bonner, Morris Peterson and Chris Bosh in the middle (young softy), or scoring 63 in the playoffs against a bunch of bums, Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish in the middle. What's sad is MJ's team still lost, to show how good the Celtics were, and Kobe's team was down for the majority of the game. But since we are only going off one on one games, MJ did it against a tougher team in a more important situation. Give me MJ on April 20, 1986 over Kobe on January 22, 2006.

One that happened to be against a shitty team who finished their season with a 27-55 record that season? Give me a break.Like I said, it's an awesome achievement to have put up those kinds of numbers that game. But that one game (especially against the fucking Raptors) doesn't dictate him being a better scorer. But if you want to go by numbers... that season was Kobe's peak in terms of ppg at 35.4, but if you want to talk about being a better scorer, MJ's peak average scoring hit 37.1 ppg fairly early in his career (while his playoffs ppg that year was also at its peak at 43.7). Additionally, he averaged 30 ppg throughout the season eight times, while Kobe did it a total of three seasons so far. And then MJ has the better career average ppg too. His playoffs numbers are a lot better too.So yeah... not too much to support your theory.
