3. Three-pointers made

LeBron has a total of1 3,543 field goals made. In February 2021 he passed Wilt Chamberlain to move up to the No.3 spot in the NBA’s list of all-time field goals made.

During the 2021-22 season, he shot 35.9 percent from the three-point line and connected on 2.9 percent of his three-pointers per game. LeBron made a total of 161 threes during the 56 games that he played.

His 161 three-pointers this past season and overall 524 threes with Los Angeles put him at No.5 in franchise history for three-point field goals. At No 4. in the franchise is Byron Scott with 594. LeBron would need 71 three-pointers made to take the No.4 spot from Scott and 227 to move up to the No.3 spot.

If LeBron stays healthy, there is no doubt that he can make 71 threes to move up the franchise leaderboard.

He also has a chance to move up the NBA’s all-time leaderboard for 3-pointers made. He has made 2,140 threes in his career and is currently at the No.11 spot behind Paul Pierce and Damian Lillard. He only needs four more threes to pass them to take the No.9 spot on the list and 82 more threes to take the No.8 spot from Jamal Crawford.
