New York Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson finds out he’s on pace to break NBA record (Video)

In spite of the New York Knicks‘ struggles this season, one of their young players is having a productive year. Second-year center Mitchell Robinson is averaging 9.4 points and 7.0 rebounds on 73.2% shooting. Evidently, the latter statistic stands tall.

The current NBA record for season-wide field goal percentage is 72.7%, set by Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain during the 1972-73 campaign. Robinson is on pace to pass that mark and learned of this information on Sunday.
