Just when you thought Lebron James couldn’t get any better, he’s actually having a history making season statistically. Read more after the jump.
From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:
The final tally for LeBron’s ridiculously accurate shooting in the month of February was 139 makes in 217 attempts from the field for a success rate of 64.1 percent. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the highest field goal percentage by a player in a calendar month featuring at least 200 shots since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shot 158-for-243 (.650) for the Lakers in March 1983.
To translate, James just finished the best individual shooting month by any NBA player in the last 30 years.
Even more amazing is the high percentage of shots James made from areas on the floor that aren’t typically recommended spots for players to be taking their shots from — namely, those classified as “long twos.”
Although Lebron is finally playing the post like we’d hoped, it pretty crazy to see that he’s also making long range jumpers.
