On December 20 2005, in one of the most spectacular individual scoring feats in NBA history, Bryant scored a then career-high 62 points in only 33 minutes of play in a 112-90 rout of the Dallas Mavericks. His 30 points in the third quarter alone surpassed the Lakers' previous franchise record of 24 points in a single quarter. Bryant had outscored the entire Dallas Mavericks team 62-61 by the time he departed at the end of the third quarter, becoming the first player ever to outscore his opposition through three quarters since the advent of the 24-second shot clock.
In late January 2006, Bryant offcially agreed to a three-year commitment to the USA Basketball team that, once qualified, will play in the 2008 Summer Olympics2008_Summer_Olympics in Beijing.
On January 22 January_22, 2006 2006, Bryant scored a career high and Los Angeles Lakers team record 81 points as the Lakers defeated the Toronto RaptorsToronto_Raptors 122-104 at Los Angeles.

During his illustrious career with the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, Joe Montana was known as a master of late-in-the-game comebacks, like the one that hinged on a jaw-dropping, 92-yard drive in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XXIII in 1989. Here are some other stats about the quarterback whose “Montana Magic” brought his teams to an amazing 31 come-from-behind, fourth-quarter victories.
• He was the top passer in the National Football Conference (NFC) 1981, 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1989. On 39 different occasions, he passed for more than 300 yards in a game, including seven times in which he surpassed 400 yards. His six 300-yard passing performances in the post-season are an NFL record.
• In 1994, he became only the fifth quarterback to ever pass for more than 40,000 yards in a career. At the time of his retirement, he ranked fourth in career passing yardage (40,551 yards), attempts (5,391) and passing touchdowns (273).
• After missing 31 consecutive games due to an injury to his throwing arm, Montana made a dramatic comeback in 1992 in the second half of the regular season finale, a Monday Night Football game between the 49ers and the Detroit Lions. Living up to his “magical” reputation, Montana completed 15 of 21 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns, spurring the 49ers to a 24-6 win

Micheal Jordan
Jordan left college and entered the NBA in 1984, he was selected third in the draft (First pick: Houston--Hakeem Olajuwon; second pick: Portland--Sam Bowie) by the Chicago Bulls, a team that had won only 28 games the previous season. Ironically, Jordan played in his first game as a pro against Washington on Oct. 26, 1984. Jordan became an immediate impact in the league and proved that he belonged among the elite players. He finished his rookie season as one of the top scorers in the league, averaging 28.2 points per game, was named Rookie of the Year, and also made the All-Star team. Jordan led the Bulls into the playoffs in every season, but didn't make the NBA Finals until 1991, where he led the Bulls to their first of three consecutive NBA Championships (1991, 1992, and 1993).
Jordan played in the 1992 summer Olympics with the original Dream Team, perhaps the greatest team ever assembled. It was the first time NBA players were allowed to compete in the Olympics. Michael Jordan averaged 12.7 points per game as the USA Dream Team went 6-0 to win the gold medal, Jordan's second in his career.

Steve Young
Young, one of the most accurate passers in league history, was named All-Pro in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1998 and earned All-NFC honors three times. The two-time league MVP also was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times.
In 1987, Young was traded to the San Francisco 49ers where he served as the backup to Hall of Famer Joe Montana. After seeing limited action in his first four seasons with the 49ers, Young stepped into the starting role in 1991 after Montana suffered an injury. Young wasted little time in taking command of the 49ers offense. Despite a knee injury that forced him out of five games that season, Young passed for 2,517 yards and 17 touchdowns to post a league high 101.8 passer rating - the first of four straight passing titles. Young added two more passing titles in 1996 and 1997 to tie him with the legendary Sammy Baugh as the only quarterbacks in history to win six NFL passing crowns.
