the most "frequent flyers" of the NBA Finals

Would you expect anything less from the man who has eight straight final appearances and nine in total? The King has become an inevitable feature of the NBA Finals and is considered a title contender in the beginning of every season, regardless of the roster he has to play with.

James, who was a 34.2 percent 3-point shooter until this season, improved his shooting thanks to a freak accident. LeBron had to adjust his shooting form after suffering a swollen elbow following the 2017 NBA Finals.

Even though there was no structural damage, it was bugging him to a point that he had to wear a compression sleeve on an everyday basis. In order to overcome the discomfort, he started to shoot the ball from a higher release point.

This attribute is just another addition to his amazing resume, which includes four MVP's, three Finals MVP's, 13 All-NBA selections, 14-time All-Star appearances and more than one can possibly note.

But even without that improved shooting ability, LeBron managed to stack up plenty of 3-pointers. James is ranked fourth all-time in finals appearances with his nine series and even a penetration-first player like him, in the golden age of the 3-point era, can accumulate as many as 85 3-pointers to place him second in that list.
