'The Skywalker' on Kobe Bryant's Basketball Record

Los Angeles Laker star Kobe Bryant set a team record this past Sunday by scoring 81 points in one game. The performance put Bryant into the record books for the second-highest score in a single game, right behind basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a game in 1962.

Alex Chadwick talks to the man Bryant bumped out of the number-two spot -- sports legend David "The Skywalker" Thompson -- about the making of basketball history.
