Question

Kobe's 81 point game was more impressive then Chamberlain's 100

Kobe's team scored 122 and Wilt's team scored 169
That means Kobe scored 66% of their points while Wilt only scored 59%.
Not only that, but Kobe shot the ball better making 61% of his shots while Wilt only made 57% of his shots. Only 18 of Kobe's points came from the line, wilt had 28 from the line. Kobe played 42 minutes while Wilt played the whole game.

If you disagree, tell me and give me your reasons.

You're muddling the issue.  Look at Robinsons 71 point game, where he shot .634 and scored 63% of his teams points.  Does that compare to Kobes game?  No, because 71 is less then 81.

Bottom line is, Kobe averaged 20 points per quarter.  He would have needed to play one more whole quarter in order to pass Wilt.  If Kobe came up 1 or 2 points short you might have an argument, but 20 is too big of a margin.  It's not like Kobe fell just short, there wasn't any time during his game when anyone thought that he had a chance to break 100.

No I don't agree.

Chamberlain had spent the night before the game in New York,partying all night with a female companion before dropping her off at her home at 6:00 A.M. With no sleep and suffering from a hangover, he boarded the train to Philadelphia at 8 AM, met several friends at the Philadelphia train station, and had a long lunch with them, thus almost missing the team bus to Hershey to play the game. Kobe could never do that. THOSE ARE THE FACTS!
