As he chases down the all-time regular season scoring record, LeBron James isn’t getting much credit for the feat.
It turns out that numbers can lie – or, more precisely, obscure the truth.
“You got to be able to adjust, man,” he said. “And if you cannot have a growth mindset on how you can find ways to get better with the team, then you’ll get left behind.” In that MVP season, James took a career-low in 3-pointers: Only 11% of his shot attempts were threes, and nearly half were mid-range shots. The 2021-22 version of James is one who has fully adapted to modern analytic thinking: Stat site Cleaning the Glass has charted his 3-point attempt percentage growing for six straight seasons, now at a career high of 34% of his attempts.
None of these changes were sudden. James’ rock-steady counting statistics only create the impression that his game is standing still.
