No one had managed to score 61 points in the MSG, not even Michael Jordan who played in that field over 50 games.'s Air Jordan came to scoring 55 points, and the leader until last night, Bernard King, scored 60 for the Christmas Day 1984.

Kobe Bryant enjoyed the song of the followers of the Knicks, who led him on wings shouting "MVP, MVP." It is true that the current Knicks game lends itself to these performances (the party ended with a 126-117 for Angelenos.)

Meanwhile, Pau Gasol was commissioned to do his work and the injured Andrew Bynum, who will be sidelined 8 to 12 weeks after Kobe Bryant hit against his leg.
