LeBron James is on the precipice of arguably the NBA’s single most hallowed individual accomplishment, and sportsbooks are coming along for the ride.
LeBron will break the record.Article content
A 2-point field goal sits as the odds-on favorite, with good reason. James still takes a large majority of his shots inside the arc , and there’s the added intangible factor of a meticulously manicured showman like LeBron secretly wanting to break the record with an emphatic dunk. But, with that said, it’s worth noting that King James has evolved with the NBA’s 3-point-happy curve, and the proportion of shots he takes from long range had increased each of the past six seasons — to a career-high 36.7% last year — before dipping slightly this season.
Free throws are, understandably, a dog here. Not only has LeBron’s free-throw rate sunk noticeably since his, um “prime”, he’s a notoriously mediocre foul shooter whose .770 mark this season is his best showing over in a decade.Article content
