The 37-year-old James has performed quite well this season, even if the Lakers' record is quite bad, but the personal performance of James is still the top of the league. James currently surpasses Embiid by 30 points per game to top the league's scoring charts this season and is expected to sprint to the record for the oldest leading scorer in history. Now the US media has listed a statistic, pointing out that James only averaged 5.9 free throws per game, compared with Embiid and Alphabet Brother are close to 12 free throws, which undoubtedly proves James's super scoring ability.
James currently leads the NBA in terms of scoring, and he has a triple-double of 38+11+12 against the Cavaliers, and currently averages 30 points per game this season. James beat Embiid and Alphabet Brother, who are currently averaging 29.8 points per game, followed by Doncic averaging 28.1 points per game and Trae Young averaging 28.9 points per game.
Just a closer look at their stats reveals how well James has performed in terms of scoring, a cut above the other names mentioned.
James averaged just 5.9 free throws per game. By comparison, Alphabet brother and Joel Embiid averaged 11.8 and 11.6 free throws per game, respectively, and Luka Doncic and Trae Young averaged 7.3 and 7.2 free throws per game, respectively.
Top five NBA scoring lists average free throws per game:
James - 5.9 times
Embiid - 11.8 times
Alphabet brother - 11.6 times
Doncic - 7.3 times
Trae Young - 7.2 times
Considering that James rarely hits the free throw line in a game, it's surprising that he's ahead of the rest of the list in terms of points per game. James has shown this season that his name should be considered as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history.
James surpassed Carl Malone in total regular season scoring recently, ranking second on the NBA's all-time scoring list. James, who is now only on the roster behind Abdul-Jabbar, hopes to top the NBA all-time scoring list before his career is over, and is even expected to hit the 40,000-point milestone. James' scoring stats are truly historic and should make him the greatest scorer in league history.
