I'm going to say 81......second highest scoring game in history....and Kobe is a 2 gaurd!
13 pionts in 33 sec is crazy, but other players have done better and more exciting comebacks.Think about it EIGHTY ONE! in a game....thats wrong...and I don't want to be right.

Definitely the 13 in 33 seconds. Both Kobe w/ 81 and Chamberlain w/ 100 had a significant amount of regulation time to get it done. And if you're playing a team that has absolutely no concept of defense (and they don't play much defense in the NBA anyway), then it's more likely.
13 points in 33 seconds is cramming that many points in such a short time limit. And even with the clock stoppage, I mean most of those shots were just sick. And on top of that, to stage a comeback to win the game. It's a winner for sure.
But undoubtedly, the most incredible scoring I've ever seen in my life was when Tayshaun Prince (then with Kentucky) played North Carolina and hit 5 consecutive 3's. Check it out:

I think the 13 in 33 is harder. If your team's goal is to get a guy to score 81 points, that's not so hard. I mean, Wilt scored 19 more than that.
Kobe was 28-46 when he scored 81, which is a good percentage, but not incredibly difficult (around 60%) for one night. 81 points on 35 shots, now that's impressive.
And nobody will remember McGrady's 13 points, b/c Reggie Miller's 8 points in 11 seconds was both a faster rate of scoring, and in a much more important situation. Plus, it was right in Spike Lee's face.

13 in 33 seconds is MUCH harder. The other team could just hold the ball for 13 seconds and keep you from getting it. If you are shooting well and you keep getting the ball, it isn't that hard to keep scoring enough to get 81 points hypothetically. Let's face it, Kobe beat up on a scrub team for his 81. It's not like it was the Pistons or the Jazz with their crazy good D.

no question its the 13 in 33 by t-mac. 4 threes in 4 possessions with people in your face with the game on the line,doesnt get any better than that. the 81 pts by kobe,he got to the line 21 times,those are easy points,plus he got some wasy baskets in transition..extrapolating the 13 pts in 33 secs and t-mac could have gotten 104 pts in 44 mins..kobe's 81 was amazing,t-mac's 13 in 33 is simply out of this world.

scoring 13 in 33 seconds is not hard if a team in playing a full court press and creating a lot of quick steals. Kobe's 81 will probably not be reached again for a long time. It takes a great amount of physical stamina to put that many shots up and then to make fair percentage requires a level of concentration that McGrady will never reach.

13 in 33 second would be more difficult, especially against a team like the Spurs.
But let's not downplay Kobe. His 81 BROUGHT BACK a Laker team from a significant deficit at the halftime. He carried his team back from behind, and led them to a blowout.

I would say T-Mac's feat was slightly more difficult. In McGrady's situation, the game was on the line, and everybody knew he was going to take the shot. He hit all 4 shots with people in his face, including the "and 1" on seven-foot Tim Duncan. 2 of the other shots were over defensive specialist Bruce Bowen, DEEP behind the 3-point arc.
Don't get me wrong...Kobe's 81 was amazing. But Toronto made up their mind NOT to double Kobe, and if you don't give defensive help when playing Kobe, then.....well....you get your a$$ on the receiving end of a Sportscenter highlight reel.

13 in 33 seconds is harder... u have to have a good basketball IQ and skills to keep hitting so many shots.
scoring 81 is also hard, but u have 4 quaters to do it, just keep driving or shooting...

I think 81 you need to be accurate for the whole game.
It also mean your team must have great team work making steals
and quickly get the ball to you to score basket. 81 would mean that you score over 40% of your team goals.
Other teams know the key player to watch out for. They most like try and mark him more
