I'm so happy we're discussing basketball!
*Ahem*
Allen Iverson is a fantastic basketball player, no doubt about that. To do what he does while being the size he is is remarkable, but, as of this moment, Kobe reigns supreme in the scoring department.
62 in three quarters against the Marvericks who had Howerd, Daniels, and Griffen guarding him; not bad defenders. 9 games with 40+ points in a row. 12 (or 13; I forgot) games with 35+ points in a row. 3 games with a row with 45+ points. Youngest player ever to score 10,000. Youngest player to ever score 15,000. Made 9 consecutive three pointers out of a total of 11 against Seattle.
Kobe is 6'6" btw.
