Scoring 68 points in a game is amazing enough... but doing so in 15 minutes is just plain madness! But that's exactly what Kobe Bryant did. In a charity exhibition game in China, the Los Angeles Laker came in for the second half of the game and wow-ed his fans beyond measure.

“I wanted to play it cool but what the heck, the place was packed with fans who’d sang an early happy birthday to me and really wanted to watch me go to work,” Bryant said in a Facebook post after the game. Do you think he's one of the best basketball players of all time?

INQUISITR.COM reports:
Kobe Bryant is fresh off leading the US Olympics basketball team to a gold medal, but he's decided not to take the rest of his summer kicking back his feet.

68 points in 15 minutes is only 2 layups a minute. Really not hard when you're a 6'6" basketball player playing against 5'9" chinese celebrities (who don't play basketball).

That's a glorified layup drill.

Greatness isn't determined by how many points you score but how you elevate those around to a higher level.

He may be the best of his time, but I still think Wilt was better. Jerry West and Oscar were both better pure shooters. Jordan was better inside, There are a lot of truly great players, hard to pick the greatest.

It's a charity which is one step up above most pickup games and five steps below even a high school games. Lisa Leslie scored 101 points in the first half of a game in HIGH SCHOOL and the other team forfeited because she was sooo good. She also pushed Michael Jordan to a hard fought game where even though she lost it was sooo close for most of the game before the Air Jordan's athleticism took over. Plus Michael Jordan, David Robinson, David Thompson, and Wilt Chamberlain have scored more points in a single NBA game than the 68 Kobe scored in this charity game. Kobe isn't even a starter on an all time greatest male team and if we do a mixed team he's a high third stringer at best. Allen Iverson can say that he's the greatest player pound for pound and inch by inch ever. Michael Jordan is still the greatest all around player ever in basketball. Labron has the potential to be greater than Kobe but again that's a hypothetical but that still shows that his spot while it's still among top 25 ever is in flux.
