Kobe and the Lakers fell to the Grizzlies in a close 107-102 defeat, but that didn’t stop the Black Mamba from putting forth a valiant effort to try and lead his team to victory.

Kobe finished the game with 28 points after hitting 10-26 shots, and it is those 16 misses that made Kobe break the record for the most missed field goals in NBA history.

Over the course of his 19-year career, Kobe has missed 13,421 shots. This stat passed the likes of Elvin Hayes with 13,296 misses, Karl Malone with 12,682 misses, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 12,470 misses and Michael Jordan with 12,345 misses. Following the game, Kobe was asked about his opinion on holding the title for the most missed shots in the NBA, and he brushed off any of the negative criticisms that might come with it.

“Well, I’m a shooting guard that’s played 19 years,” Kobe said. He later added, “Like I said, ‘shooting’ guard, 19th year. I don’t care about it, to be honest with you. It is what it is. I remember when I was a kid and I watched Michael shoot 49 times in an NBA Finals game. Can you imagine if I did that and lost? Puts things in perspective.

“You’ve got to step up and play, man. You can’t worry about criticism. You can’t worry about failure. You really can’t worry about that stuff. You’ve got to go out and figure that out and play and do the best you can, and whatever happens, happens. You can’t be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.”

Since it was confirmed that Kobe broke the record for most missed shots in the NBA, fans have chimed in offering their opinions on his current accuracy stats.
