Technically, all of what you listed above are valid enough to be what he should be remembered for. He is one the greatest players of all time. He has perfected the game of basketball. I personally think that he should be remembered for being a vicious dunker and a great three point shooter. That is a rare combination.
In picking among what you have listed above, it should be no other than his 81 points. He displayed tremendous talent in that game. He is ranked a flat second in most points in a game. His thee point record for 12 made in a game is also great, but it has been tainted since the record has been tied by Donyell Marshall.

its a tie between game 4 of last years playoffs against the phoenix suns and the 81 points....nobody will ever forget that 81 he posted up and what made that special was the fact that they were down by 18 at one point and came back to win by 18 in game 4 kobe made not only 1 but 2 clutch shots which made the team really connect..i still remember those shots

The best thing that ever happened to him was the Nike took him back as there spokeperson after the big rape scandal which basically convinced everyone else...if nike is willing to forgive him, maybe we should too...if Nike went public and talked about how they wont have him as a spokesperson he could have become so worked up and I think would have retired cause everyone gave him **** about it, he would fold under pressure...but we all forgave him and forgot about it, and so we still get some steller highlights, not to mention an 80 point game!!! that's his best moment!

My favorite moment is when the 5 inches shorter guy Chris Childs beat him up. Kobe sucks!

actual the main memorable became his eighty one-factor bonanza, a minimum of for the customary public. That became under no circumstances the main obligatory (that stands out as the championships), inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it is the main hyped and noteworthy.
