Once, Twice, Three Times A Fifty

Kobe Bryant became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in three straight games on Thursday night. Bryant scored 60 against Memphis, after having previously scored 65 and 50 against Portland and Minnesota respectively.
The other three to accomplish this feat?
Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, and Michael Jordan.
"It just feels great," Bryant said, "It's really special and very humbling to be in the same company."
It was the fourth 60-point game of Bryant's career, tying him with Jordan for the second-most 60-point games in a career. Chamberlain holds the record with 32.
Bryant and the Lakers face the New Orleans Hornets tonight.
