I agree with
Mookiebomber. There's enough to write a respectable, stand-alone article. We could describe the game in more detail, and summarize the reaction and analysis of it. Maybe we could only churn out two or three paragraphs, but that would still be enough to justify a spinout. Of course, the

I'm on the fence about this one, because his 81-point game truly IS a notable achievement (second highest scoring output in the highest professional basketball league worldwide is, IMHO, notable), but I say delete because I fear it sets a dangerous trend. Anyone who scores a ton of points in a game
490:
How about the statistics, the media reaction it got, it was a massive performance in sports. Other one other time had there been anything remotely similar. I believe it desveres a page, just google "Kobe Bryant 81" and see all of the things you come up with, it is an important day for basketball
435:
This is an important feat in NBA history, it was not only the second-highest scoring performance in league's history, but this is in fact the highest-scoring output ever to be recorded for television. It is also important as it is Kobe Bryant's highest scoring mark and even if some people don't
544:. Not enough information to warrant a standalone article. Would probably make an exception for Wilt's 100 point game, since that is the record, but this game is not. Still, it is obviously important enough within the context of Bryant's career to be discussed within Kobe's article.
436:
consider this relevant NBA History, it should however be considered relevant for Kobe Bryant's biography and profile page. Article should stay! Anybody who scores 65+ points in an NBA game with the hardest competition in the world should get its own page of the single match-up.
410:
I've stubbed the article and corrected the inaccuracies. Now, I think we should give it a chance to grow. Bryant may not have set the record, but he scored more points than any NBA player in four decades, and received all kinds of attention for it:
257:
This consists of someone copying the first paragraph of the Wilt
Chamberlain article. It would have been a neat trick for Kobe Bryant to score any points on March 2, 1962. That notwithstanding, the game can be described in the article about
331:
no disputing the achievement is impressive, but there is no justification for a separate article. It can easily be described in Bryant's article, the relevant season article, a list of NBA scoring recorts, etc.

current article isn't very helpful, so if people want to make it a redirect for the time being, I'd be fine with that. But we should definitely allow for future expansion.
