Miami ? Visibility and repetitiveness will hoist the empyreal offensive performance by Kobe Bryant to peerlessness in the public mind. And on the numbers, it was unparalleled in our time, 81 points being 81 points.

But it isn’t 100. Unstoppable though Bryant was, he wasn’t the sheer force Wilt Chamberlain was that 1962 night in Hershey, Pa.

This sort of argument has become an anathema to me because our discourse spectrum no longer includes grays. You’re either fer us or agin’ us. You either love ‘im or hate ‘im. To support my argument, I must rip at the star of yours.

Such an approach seems a little childish when discussing two such monstrous performances. I will point out, however, that Bryant’s game, translated into Wilt’s era, would be a 72-point night. No three-pointers, or three free throws on three-point attempts, back in 1962.

So, we’re comparing a 72-point night to a 100-point night.

Also, Wilt got the NBA’s only single triple back before NBA officiating so blatantly favored star offensive players. There’s no telling what kind of offensive night Wilt or Elgin Baylor, a direct hoop ancestor of Julius Erving, Michael Jordan and Bryant, might have with today’s officiating and yesterday’s defenders.

As it was, Wilt went to the line 32 times that night and hit 28, 87.5 percent free-throw shooting. I know Bryant sank 90 percent from the line, but Wilt overcame a serious career deficiency to reach 100 points. On the line, The Dipper made The Daddy look automatic. His career free-throw percentage was 51.1, which is one of the reasons he went to the line 32 times.

Wilt didn’t have to bear the widespread pressure from media or fan scrutiny that today’s NBA stars do. But to say Wilt wasn’t under intense pressure every night, however, is to drown good sense in bad presentism.

While the Boston Celtics were the team face of the NBA, Chamberlain was by far the biggest individual draw, expected to produce giant numbers every night.

Then, there’s the crushing weight of 100.

The number possesses a majesty no matter the sport.

The NFL doesn’t state records for most consecutive 81-yard rushing games or most 81-yard receiving games in a season. Nobody talks about how many 81-RBI seasons a hitter compiles or how many 81-point seasons an NHL player posts.

As Chamberlain got closer to 100 points, he didn’t crumble.

It’s similar to the Dolphins’ Perfect Season. You can argue there were better teams in other years, the competition could’ve been better, yada, yada, yada. Yet no NFL team has had a season like that, one that ended with a zero in the loss column.

And, still, no player has had a night like Wilt Chamberlain had March 2, 1962, one that ended with two zeroes in the points column.
