Live broadcast, January 23 -17 years ago today (January 22, 2006, US time), the Lakers defeated the visiting Raptors 122-104 at Staples Center, the legendary Lakers star Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, the second highest single game in NBA history, with the magic performance of 28 out of 46 shots (7 out of 13) and 18 out of 20 free throws.
As Kobe’s “favorite opponent” in this game, Jay Rose made 3 shots in the 11th round of the game and 11 out of the 12th round of free throws, he scored 17 points in the third high of the team (second only to Bosh’s 18 points and Mike James’s 26 points).
Kobe scored 18 points on the night of 81 minutes against Jay rose.
Many years later, this pair of “enemies” “met” in the bar. Kobe ordered 81 olives to ridicule Rose, once again achieving a classic moment.
However, in fact, Kobe and Ross actually have a very good relationship. In 2018, Ross talked about 81st night with Kobe in an exclusive interview. The video of “meeting enemies” actually comes from a comedy movie “Jalen vs. Everybody” by Jay-rose in 2017.
