LeBron James made historical past within the Lakers’ season opener. He not solely grew to become the primary NBA participant to compete alongside his son but in addition surpassed Kobe Bryant for probably the most missed pictures in NBA historical past, a document Bryant had held since 2014.
Make no mistake, although… Regardless of this document, LeBron has been a extremely environment friendly scorer within the NBA, capturing higher than 50 p.c in 13 completely different seasons. In the meantime, Bryant by no means exceeded 47 p.c – although Kobe performed throughout an period of harder protection.
For the rating of most missed pictures ever, test under.
