    Cool hand Luke

    Remember when the Lakers' Kobe Bryant launched 47 shots against the Boston Celtics last month, and missed 30?

    John Lucas, who made the league's All-Rookie team with Houston in 1976-77, said the most shots he ever took was 22.

    "And when I did, Calvin Murphy took me to [coach] Tom Nissalke and said, 'Tell him his role again,' " the Cleveland Cavaliers coach recalled.

    But Bryant's 30 misses were not a league record: The legendary Wilt Chamberlain missed 37 in a 23-for-60 performance for the old Philadelphia Warriors against the Cincinnati Royals on Oct. 28, 1962.
