Okay, so the other day I was watching some NBA highlights and got into a debate with my friend about who missed the most shots in NBA history. We were throwing names around, but we needed the facts. So, I decided to dig in and find out for myself.
The Research Begins
First, I started by just hitting up some general NBA stats websites. I figured they’d have some leaderboards or something, but it wasn’t as straightforward as I hoped. I mean, sure, there were lists for points, rebounds, assists, all that good stuff. But finding a specific “most missed shots” list? Not so easy.
Digging Deeper
Then, I started getting into more specific searches. I was googling things like “NBA players most missed field goals” and stuff like that. That’s when I started to find some interesting articles and forum discussions. It became clear it wasn’t a stat that was officially tracked in a super obvious way, but people had definitely looked into it.
Finding the Data
I stumbled upon some articles talking about this very topic, I mean the “most missed shots” .One data mentioned Kobe Bryant. I was like, “Wait, Kobe? Really?”.I kept looking.
- Kobe Bryant:Apparently, this dude is at the top of the list!
Crunching the Numbers (Well, Not Really)
Now, I’m no statistician,I found that Kobe had missed 14,481 shots! I was like, “Wow, that’s a lot of misses!”I thought at the * you know what? the data also said that the guy is also super high on the all-time scoring list. Makes sense, right? You gotta shoot a lot to score a lot!
My Conclusion
So, after all my digging, it looks like Kobe Bryant is the “winner” of this particular stat. It is not easy * honestly, it just goes to show that even the greatest players miss a ton of shots. It’s part of the game. You gotta take the shots to make the shots, and sometimes, you’re gonna miss. A lot. And that’s okay!
