He went on a historic scoring run in the last week or so which has resurrected the Lakers' season and led to five straight wins after a seven game skid. The run started when kobe dropped 65 points on the Portland Trailblazers on Friday, March 16th. Kobe then dropped 50 on Minnesota, 60 on Memphis, 50 more on New Orleans. Kobe's streak of 4 games with 50+ points makes him the only player to do so not named Wilt. The streak ended when Kobe scored 43 last night in a victory over the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers needed just about every point that Kobe scored during this scoring run, they won each game by an average of 4.4 points. Pretty badass. He's definitely fucking tonight.
