no kobe did no longer score 40, yet d wade isn't the international perfect participant, the perfect participant is mj, mj is the suitable no one be like mj. wade is rapid, has superb crossover, superb lay-ups, the only weak spot on wade is shooting means. kobe have the means to shoot from the exterior and the interior, he's an incredible participant while coming to a million on a million or rapid breaking, however the perfect 2d became the olympic while wade did a spectacular throw to kobe and kobe slams it in. that became the perfect alley-ops i've got even seen.

No, it is Wilt's 100 for the NBA. I think in the WNBA there have been like 3 players to beat 100.
