LeBron James Passes Kobe Bryant For Unwanted Record In Lakers Win

LeBron James made history on Tuesday night, but not in a way he might have wanted. During the Lakers' 110-103 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron set a record for the most missed shots in NBA history. He passed Kobe Bryant's record of 14,481 missed shots, making LeBron the all-time leader with 14,482 missed field goals.

The moment happened in the third quarter when LeBron missed a layup. Though it's not a record most players aim for, it shows how long and active LeBron has been in the NBA. To miss that many shots, a player has to take a lot of them, and LeBron has been a top scorer for 22 seasons.

LeBron wasn’t the only James making news that night. His son, Bronny James, made his debut for the Lakers. LeBron gave Bronny some advice before he checked into the game: "Just play carefree. Don’t worry about mistakes." The two shared a special moment on the court, becoming the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.

Bronny played for three minutes, grabbed a rebound, and missed a shot. While he didn’t score, it was a proud moment for LeBron, who said, “To be able to have this moment with my son is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever had."

The Lakers, under new coach JJ Redick, started their season with a strong win and are preparing for a tough game against the Phoenix Suns next. Source: Talk Sports
