LeBron James is currently shooting 86.1% (gasp) inside three feet. If the season ended today, that would place him fourth all-time in a season (min 75 attempts). I know there's a million "LeBron is amazing" posts, but this one really gets me, as he's the only one on this list that is his team's primary ball handler.

  1. Robert Williams 87.9% 2022-23
  2. Damian Jones 87.7% 2021-22
  3. Bol Bol 87.1% 2022-23
  4. LeBron James 86.1% 2023-24
  5. Nerlens Noel 86.1% 2019-20
  6. Andre Iguodala 85.6% 2018-19
