Kobe Bryant ; LA Lakers Star Goes From Hero To Zero

LA Lakers shooting guard, Kobe Bryant set NBA record for the most misses against Memphies Grizzlies on Wednesday
LA Lakers shooting guard, Kobe Bryant set a record for player with the most missed field goals in his team’s 107-102 loss to Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday
The record was first held by Boston Celtics, John Havlicek; Bryant moved one point more than Havlicek when he missed a 14-foot fadeaway jumper from the left side, giving him 13, 418 career missed field goals
The loss to Grizzlies makes it the 6 straight loss in the current NBA season with Kobe Bryant and NBA legend Steve Nash in the team’s line-up
When asked about the poor record, Bryant said:
 "Nah, I don't follow that stuff, man.
"Well, I'm a shooting guard that's played 19 years," whimsically he enthuses: "Like I said, 'shooting' guard, 19th year."
Prior to the game take-off, the 36 year-old was 13 missed goals behind Havlicek’s record and with 6:22 left in the fourth quarter, he surpassed that record
"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.''
Bryant has missed at least 20 shots in 44 games, the fourth-most such games in NBA history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Kobe Bryant now leads the list of 5 players with the most missed field goals
John Havlicek (13,421) Elvin Hayes (13,296), Karl Malone(12,682), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (12,470) and Michael Jordan(12,345).
