I was wrong. LeBron will break Kobe's record the next game he plays.

I'm referencing [this old ass post](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/7kjsj6/kobe_bryant_owns_a_record_that_may_never_be_broken/) I made 6 or so years ago about Kobe holding the all-time most missed shots record and that it will never be broken.

There was some discussion about LeBron breaking it, I denied that idea as he was some 3,800 misses behind Kobe. And now, today, 6 years later, LeBron sits just 6 missed shots away from claiming that record all to himself.

At the time, there were 4 active players in the top 20 in misses, but there is only one left now. That one is LeBron James, soon to crush the record of 14,481 missed shots. 6 years ago I said that record may never be broken. I was wrong, and I eat crow. But today, I'm going to say it again because I never learn my lesson. No one will ever break LeBron's record of most missed shots in NBA history he will probably set the next game he plays.

(P.S. there was also talk about Russell Westbrook breaking the record, albeit mostly jokingly. But today he sits at 2,877 misses behind Kobe's record. Westbrook and LeBron are the only active players in the top 25 with the most misses.)
