Kobe’s grandma only came to see him play one game his entire career. That game he scored 81 points versus the Toronto Raptors.

Kobe Bryant: Grandma inspired me to 81-point game

An old interview of Kobe Bryant talking about scoring 63 points at 8 years old and scoring 81 points in an NBA game.

His secret recipe to score 81? Pepperoni Pizza!

Man Toronto put everyone they had on him and he still torched the Raps. Kobe is one of a kind.

It’s one of those games I get but don’t enjoy watching, I do enjoy watching other people enjoy it though.
