Watch Kobe Bryant blow past his defender before missing an open layup
Kobe Bryant on what he expects from his final NBA game.

No one in NBA history has missed more shots than Kobe Bryant. That's the kind of record you hold when you take (and make) as many shots as Bryant has, of course.
On Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, Bryant added another 11 misses to his career tally. Which is fine, of course; we're not holding that against him, especially at this point in his career. We just want to celebrate the Los Angeles Lakers star, even when he does something like this:
Yeah, it's not great, but whatever. Kobe laughed it off, and we will, too.
And he followed that miss up with a ridiculous 3-pointer anyway, so things worked out in the short-term, even if the Lakers lost 110-102:
Poor Roy Hibbert in that second clip, though. Who knew that gravity became super-powerful in the New Orleans paint?
Hope you're okay, big guy. That one looked like it hurt.
