Ranking: The players with the most missed shots in NBA history
LeBron James made history in the Lakers’ season opener. He not only became the first NBA player to compete alongside his son but also surpassed Kobe Bryant for the most missed shots in NBA history, a record Bryant had held since 2014.
Make no mistake, though… Despite this record, LeBron has been a highly efficient scorer in the NBA, shooting better than 50 percent in 13 different seasons. Meanwhile, Bryant never exceeded 47 percent – though Kobe played during an era of tougher defense.
