LeBron James is in the midst of a remarkable season. He’s averaging 29.7 points per game, which is second in the NBA while shooting 52.3 percent from the field to go along with 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.
His free-throw shooting, which had been a weakness the past few years, has also improved to a 76.6 percent accuracy. In each of his first three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, he had been south of 70 percent from the charity stripe.
However, it has come at a hefty cost, as he is playing 36.9 minutes per game this season, which is fourth in the league.
