Debatable. Kobe did have that one game, and a couple of others that were almost as impressive.
But as someone suggested, Jordan could drop 60 and cause massive disruption on the other end of the floor.
Shaq has put up ridiculous statlines, like 61/23 and 24/28 with 15 blocks, while facing enormous defensive attention.
Olajuwon faced just as much attention and dominated both ends of the court, with numbers like 49/25 with 6 blocks, and 38/17/6 with 12 blocks and 7 steals.
Although it seems no one likes to give him credit for it, David Robinson put up 71/14 while being one of the greatest defensive players of all time.
Karl Malone once had 61/18 on 80% from the field in 33 minutes...
