So, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points last night. Let's say that again for you: Kobe Bryant scored 81 points last night. We know we're not the first place to tell you this, and we're definitely not the loudest, but here it is: Kobe scored 81.

We know we're supposed to be all jaded and unimpressed, all "he's a ball hog" and "we hope he didn't celebrate in a hotel room by a ski resort" — and some people are taking care of the cynicism side for us — but 81 points in a game is ridonkulous. And even more impressive, the Lakers were down double-digits at halftime, which means it wasn't just a blatant "Look, I'm just chucking threes now" type of thing. It's so impressive, even longtime Kobe haters YAYSports! are forgiving Kobe his trespasses and those who trespasses against him.

Eighty-one points. Fifty-five points in the second half. Are you kidding? Man, we're gonna start wearing the Kobe leggings while doing the site.

Holy Fuck Kobe Bryant [YAYSports!]
