Holds, among numerous other records, the record for most points in a playoff game, 63, which has yet to be broken in 19 years.
Play a crucial game late in the FINALS, one that could make or break a championship, with a bad flu and still score 38 points including the game-winning shot.
Achieve arguably the greatest sports comeback in professional history by being out of the game for a year and a half, coming back, and winning three more championships.
Have his jersey retired.
Have a statue of himself erected in front of his home arena.
When a player matches or surpasses all of that, I will consider him better than Michael Jordan. Until then, no cigar.
And what was the outcome of that game?namkcuR said:

Headache in a Suitcase said:having the lakers and the knicks both fully entrenched in salary cap hell is reason enough for david stern to want to get rid of the salary cap... at least for a couple of years.
Headache in a Suitcase said:frankly there's really nothing they can do... it's the system they're in. they could put in a system similar to the NFL... a hard cap... but that would also involve non-gauranteed contracts and players getting cut every year... the union would never go for it.
or they could go the opposite route and get rid of the salary cap altogether, but the owners would never go for it.
they're stuck with the two teams in the two biggest franchises being shitty for the next 5+ years, do soley to bad management.
the lakers are in less a salary cap hell... they can get some room in 2 years. but no one wants to play with kobe anymore. they need to do some big time rehabilitation on his image before the 2007 off season if they want any big name free agent to go there.
as for the knicks... forget it. stern should do whatever is in his power to try to get the dolan family to sell the team and the arena. cablevision has driven the entire madison square garden enterprise into the ground, and nothing in all of sports pisses me off more than that.
