Wow. It happens even in NYC.

Kobe dropped 61 on the Knicks last night. Check out this blog post from the NY Post and the Knick’s coach’s comments.

I remember the game that Michael Jordan returned to Madison Square Garden and scored the double nickel, 55 points, in his second game back from one of his retirements.

Last night’s game was historic - 61 without an asterisk – all done in less than 40 minutes to boot.
