Bryant has reached the 60 point mark five times in his career. Second only to Wilt Chamberlain (32 times). His career high in a game is 81-points (second to Chamberlain's 100-points in a game). He has three championships and was a very big reason why the Redeem team brought back the gold medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

I think Kobe is the best player on the planet. James is also a great player but if I had to pick one over the other I would take Kobe.
