List of forty-plus point games by Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is an American basketball shooting guard who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Selected 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA Draft, Bryant was traded to the Lakers for Vlade Divac a month later. He won three consecutive NBA championships with the Lakers playing alongside Shaquille O'Neal from 2000 to 2002. After O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat before the 2004–05 season, Bryant "became the cornerstone" of the Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the and seasons. In the 2007–08 season, Bryant won the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) and led his team to the 2008 NBA Finals, where the Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics. After winning the gold medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics as a member of the U.S. men's basketball team, he led the Lakers to another championship in 2009.

The number of forty-plus point games players accumulate over their careers is often reported in media. As of February 1, 2010, Bryant has played 104 games in which he has scored forty or more points; of these, 5 were sixty-plus point games and 24 were fifty-plus point games. He is third behind Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan, who scored forty or more in 271 and 173 games respectively. In 2003, Bryant scored 40 points or more in nine consecutive games, tying Jordan, who accomplished the same feat in the 1986–87 season. The only player with longer streaks of 40 or more is Chamberlain, who had 14 consecutive games twice in the 1961–62 season and 10 consecutive games in the 1962–63 season. In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. It was the second-highest number of points scored in a game in NBA history, behind only Chamberlain's 100-point performance in 1962. In 2007, Bryant scored 50 points or more in four consecutive games; this accomplishment is second in NBA history to Chamberlain, who had 50 or more in seven consecutive games five times in the 1961–62 season. Out of the 114 games, 10 of them were played during the playoffs, 17 resulted in Bryant notching a double-double and 33 resulted in losses.
