List of Korean Basketball League annual statistical leaders
Every year, the Korean Basketball League (KBL) awards titles to various leaders in the five basketball statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. It subdivides the categories for scoring and rebounding into "overall", which includes both domestic and foreign players, and "domestic".[nb 1]
Previously an award was given to the domestic players who ranked first in the scoring and rebounding categories but was scrapped after the 2003–04 season. The KBL continues to publish the statistics on its website.

170 Club and 180 Club
In the KBL, both terms are used to describe players as excellent shooters, similar to the "50–40–90 club" used in the NBA.[2] The "170 Club" requires a player to achieve the criteria of 50% field goal percentage, 40% three-point field goal percentage and 80% free throw percentage over the course of a regular season, while meeting the minimum thresholds to qualify as a league leader in each category.[3]
To be described as part of the "180 Club", a player's free throw percentage must be at least 90%. In the history of the KBL, only two players have made the "180 Club", Choo Seung-gyun and Cho Sung-min.[4] Cho was only 0.58% away from setting a new record, the "190 Club".[3]
Notes
- ^ "Domestic players" refers to players who entered the KBL as South Korean citizens as defined by FIBA nationality rules. Ricardo Ratliffe (Ra Gun-ah) is still classified under "foreign players" since he entered the league as a foreign national and acquired South Korean citizenship much later. Moon Tae-young, Lee Seung-jun and Chon Tae-poong entered the league via the ethnic draft, qualifying through a Korean parent, and are classified "domestic players".
- ^ The inaugural KBL season began play in February 1997 to facilitate a smooth transition from the amateur era. The 1997–98 season was the first full season of the new professional league.
- ^ Sr. was added as he is the father of basketball player Terrence Shannon Jr.
- ^ Only 43 games were played instead of the usual 54 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
