It's not the most field goals ever attempted, with Wilt Chamberlain attempted 63 shots when he scored 100. But since the stat started being tracked officially in the 1983-84 season, no one has ever taken 50 shots. Only six times have players taken more than 45 shots, with three of them belonging to Bryant. Before Bryant's 50, the most attempts taken since 1985-86 was Michael Jordan with 49 field goal attempts. Of course Bryant would top Jordan in something in his final game ever.It really was Kobe signature game. Damn.
The 50 field goal attempts also shatters this season's NBA record, which was simply 36 shots attempted by Russell Westbrook in 48 minutes played. Bryant did 50 attempts in 42 minutes, while his 60 points was also a high for the 2015-16 season. (Anthony Davis led the NBA with 59 points scored earlier this year.)
Bryant also attempted 21 three-point shots, making six. The most threes ever taken was J.R. Smith jacking 22 of them, so Bryant fell just shy of the record there. Bryant already owns the record for most misses in a game (30), so his 28 misses on Wednesday wasn't a record, either.

Kobe says that despite being exhausted, he'll wake up and work out tomorrow. Says he's researched former athletes & "it's a slippery slope."

By vic Go To PostShit, Fat Kobe might not happen!yeah i figured this. he's psycho enough to still be in game shape well past the last game.
By shun Go To Postwell was he at the game?he was. he was around the group of former teammates minutes after the buzzer
Kobe literally one of the few stars that played in the NBA during the 90s'... there aren't many left. Duncan was 1997, but after that Vince Carter kinda (1999)? Anyone else?
I can't believe everyone is sucking Kobes dick. Utah gave the game away and played like they got $$$ on the line. 50 shots is fucking ridiculous. The Lakers were down because of all those horrible 3 pointers Kobe attempted and missed. I just don't see the big "OMG, BEST SENDOFF, when the game looked like an exhibition game in the 4th quarter.

By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostCeltics former big 3.No, not officially. Although he's literally working in his own restaurant down in South Florida. Safe to say he's not coming back although he still in great shape.

By reilo Go To Postshun predicting worst record for Blazers 6 months ago and now he saying they're winning a playoff round smh
Reilo literally no one thought Portland would be as good as they are and after losing your entire starting line up, I really thought they would tank for talent. I don't hate the Blazers, I just thought that was the road to go seeing as you need a good player for the 3-5 spot.
Obviously I was wrong, but throughout the season I have been asking you questions and have been interested in Portland as far as saying they are one of the most enjoyable teams to watch this season with CJ McCullom stepping up.
I didn't think CJ would be THAT good being bumped as a starter. Ed Davis too. The rest of your team is well. Yeah.
