Ah ha!!! I figured it out.
Kobe seen this **** and was like "Challenge, accepted" He gon pass this one too, that's why he been missin extra free throws lately.
If you think the committee can't find a silver lining to a 1-9 start, think again. Despite what you've heard, Kobe is actually fifth all-time in most misses once you add in errant FTs. That takes him to 15,030 career misses, behind Wilt (16,621), Mailman (16,083), Elvin Hayes (15,939) and Kareem (15,062).
