[Yahoo] '19 James Harden vs '06 Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game occurred on this date 13 years ago. It came during a January 2006 run that is among the greatest months of singular offensive production in NBA history, if not the best ever from a guard. And James Harden’s January 2019 is better in almost every measure but the number 81.

For four decades, Bryant’s fellow Los Angeles Lakers legends Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain stood as the only players in league history to have averaged 40 points for a month. Then, from February 2003 to March 2007, Bryant achieved the feat four times, and his 43.4 points per game in January 2006 marked the highest such run. He did so on 47/40/90 shooting splits. Bryant scored 40 or more points seven times over that 13-game span, eclipsing 50 points three times, including the 81-point outing.

Through his first 10 games of 2019, Harden is on pace to join Bryant as the only other guard to hit that mark, averaging 43.7 points on 44/36/90 shooting splits. He has six 40-point games already, including a pair of 50-point games, and his Houston Rockets have four more games on the schedule this month.

In before:

Media Conspiracy
No one outside Houston appreciates Harden
MDA needs to be called out
I wouldn’t blame James if he demanded a trade
Harden needs to be more demonstrative with the front office.

F-CK OFF @Os Trigonum
