List of National Basketball Association annual free throw percentage leaders - wikipedia List of National Basketball Association annual free throw percentage leaders In basketball, a free throw is an unopposed attempt to score points from behind the free throw line. The National Basketball Association 's ( NBA ) free throw percentage leader is the player with the highest free throw percentage in a given season. José Calderón holds the record for best free throw percentage in a season, which he accomplished with the Toronto Raptors in the 2008 -- 09 NBA season. To qualify as a free throw percentage leader, the player must have at least 125 free throws made. Aside from the strike shortened 1998 -- 99 and 2011 -- 12 seasons, this has been the entry criteria since the 1974 -- 75 season.
