I was bored at work today and decided to compile Kobe's 10 best performances and see what a "Kobe Challenge" in a future game might look like. What do you guys think? More difficult than Jordan's? Might be fun to try some of these in this year's game.

I would replace the streak with the finals series against the Magic.

It would be "Winning without Shaq"

Otherwise, AMAZING LIST!!!

metscolts · 11-29-2010, 08:00 PM

Tough for Kobe to hit 12 3's in this game.

Knickerlem · 11-29-2010, 08:02 PM

Not a big fan of Kobe but great job nonetheless

Thanks...not a bad suggestion..I think "The Streak" would be more difficult though, but here's what I would suggest for "Winning Without Shaq"

Winning Without Shaq
Kobe leads the Lakers to a decisive Finals win over the Magic.

When: June 4-14, 2009. NBA Finals vs. Orlando Magic.

Goal 1: Average 32+ points per game
Goal 2: Average 7+ assists per game.
Goal 3: Shoot 43%+ for the series.
Goal 4: Win the series.

"winning without shaq" is too easy

Agreed..I think "81" would be the most difficult obviously..scoring 81 is a chore in itself, but having to make 7 three's in this game while still shooting 60% from the field would be a pain.

"Fight Night"

Get in a fight with Reggie "Skin and Bones" Miller and don't get beat up and tossed on the scorer's table.

Sorry, but that is one of my favorite Kobe memories (the air ball festival versus Utah follows closely behind).

All kidding aside, I like the idea. Kobe isn't a legend, but if he was, I'd like to see that in a 2K game. Good work.
