Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant’s best game against every team in NBA

Kobe Bryant’s best game against the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans – 50 points in 2007

This game against the New Orleans Hornets in 2007 was again a part of his four-game 50 point streak and it was the last game of the streak. The fourth straight game with 50 points put him in a rare company only with Wilt Chamberlain who had previously done it a staggering seven times in a row in 1961.

The most important part of the streak for Kobe was probably that the Lakers won all four of those games, including this one 111 to 105, cruising past an overmatched Hornets squad.

Only legendary scorers like Wilt and Kobe were capable of scoring streaks of this magnitude, and the crazy part is that Bryant did it as an outside scorer, while Wilt dominated smaller players down low.

This streak of four straight 50 point games will probably never be matched again, and that speaks to Kobe’s greatness.
