Since entering the NBA, LeBron James has built a legacy that few can rival. His name often appears at the top of almost every statistical and achievement-based conversation.

Meanwhile, NBA 2K26 revealed its latest shooting rankings on Sunday. However, the Los Angeles Lakers star was nowhere in the top 10 list for three-point shooting and mid-range accuracy.

In the three-point category, Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry unsurprisingly claimed the top spot with a perfect 99 rating from beyond the arc. He was followed by a list that included Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Desmond Bane, Zach LaVine, Isaiah Joe, Jarrett Allen, Luke Kennard, Sam Hauser, and Anthony Edwards.

The mid-range rankings were equally competitive. Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic and Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving both topped the chart at 98. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Andrew Nembhard, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Miles McBride, and Khris Middleton rounded out the list. Once again, LeBron’s name was notably absent.

NBA Fans React To LeBron James’ Snub From 2K26’s Best 3-PT Shooters

The omission of James from the 3-PT list ignited immediate debate among fans. Many fans took to social media to voice their frustration.

“LeBron should be number one,” one fan wrote.

“lebron should be here,” another fan wrote.

“Notice how Lebron isn’t there,” one person commented.

“Notice how LeBron isn’t here?” another one added.

“This list is terrible,” one user declared.

“2k ratings getting worse and worse every year,” another one added.

James has never been purely defined by his shooting. For many fans, his exclusion from NBA 2K26’s top shooting categories isn’t just a statistical oversight; it feels like a lack of respect for a player who has spent two decades proving his dominance.
