Recommended Posts

 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Kobe Bryant made history Tuesday, setting the NBA record for missed field goals.

The Los Angeles Lakers star set the mark with 6:22 left in the fourth quarter of a 107-102 lossto the Memphis Grizzlies, when he missed a 14-foot fadeaway jumper from the left side, giving him 13,418 career missed field goals, one more than Boston Celtics legend John Havlicek.

Bryant, now in his 19th NBA season, entered the game 13 missed field goals shy of the record. The 36-year-old guard now stands ahead of Havlicek, Elvin Hayes (13,296), Karl Malone(12,682), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (12,470) and Michael Jordan (12,345).

I couldn't wait for my Twitter to blow up after he missed that shot.

Kobe: 13,421 misses / 1,252 games = 10.72 misses/game
Jordan: 12,345 misses / 1,072 games = 11.52 misses/game

 

MJ is my guy, and I always hate putting him in a negative light...but nobody gives a damn about his stats unless it's to praise him.

 

Kobe has played more games...19th NBA season.  People use that excuse when saying he'll pass Jordan on the scoring list, so why do people ignore it when he passes him on the missed shots list?
