Kobe Bryant tonight showed the world that he is the world's most dominant offensive player, scoring an amazing 81 points on the Toronto Raptors at the Staples Center.

Bryant, the league's leading scorer, scored an amazing 55 points in the second half alone as the Lakers routed the Raptors 122-104.

Kobe finished the game making 28 out of 46 shots (61%), was 7-13 (54%) from behind the arc and was 18-20 from the charity stripe (90%) in 41 minutes.

The performance was good enough to give Kobe the second highest individual scoring game in NBA history.

"I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid," Bryant said. "There was no way possible."
