On December 20, Bryant scored 62 points despite playing only three quarters of play against the Dallas Mavericks.

On January 22, Bryant scored 81 points in a 122-104 victory against the Toronto Raptors. In addition to breaking the previous franchise record of 71 set by Elgin Baylor, his point total in that game was second in NBA history only to Wilt Chamberlain's legendary 100-point game in 1962.

Also in January, Bryant became the first player since 1964, and the only player aside from Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor to score 45 points or more in four consecutive games.

By the end of the season, Bryant had also set Lakers single-season franchise records for the most 40-point games and most points scored (2,832), among others.

Bryant won the league's scoring title for the first time, posting the highest scoring average (35.4) since Michael Jordan's 37.1 average in 1986-87.

Bryant finished in fourth-place in the voting for the 2006 NBA Most Valuable Player Award, but also received 22 first place votes —second only to winner Steve Nash, and by far the highest number of first-place votes Bryant had ever received in his career.
