Stats have become a sixth man of sorts in sports. There is a stat for EVERYTHING. Even things that really don’t matter. We know Lakers star Kobe Bryant is a first ballot Hall of famer. That means that’s he’s set a record or three. His most latest accomplishment is one that will make Mamba haters hearts sing, Kobe has the most missed shots in NBA history.
Bryant has missed 13,421 shots over the last 19 years. Asked about the record, Bryant smiled and said he wasn’t aware of it.
“Nah, I don’t follow that stuff, man,” he said.
19 years as the first or second offensive weapon, it makes sense. Jordan is top five on this list along with Kareem. But someone will still find a way to say what this says about KOBE as a player. :shrug:
