Coming into his 22nd season, James had missed a total of 14,476 field goals in his illustrious NBA career. That left him just five shy of Kobe Bryant's all-time record of 14,481 missed field-goal attempts.

LeBron James has made plenty of NBA history during his long, illustrious career. Most of that history is positive, as James is at the top of the record books in many categories including points scored.

LeBron James became the NBA's first 40,000-point scorer last season, but among the milestones he will reach this season is a less distinguished institution. The Los Angeles Lakers legend will set the record for most career missed field goals, and he is on pace to become the first player ever to miss 15,000 shots.
