I think the original argument was that guys playing with Lebron should hit a higher percentage of 3's because they play with lebron and he attracts all of the attention. chuck's point of view is that a guy shooting a 3 pointer in the NBA is no more open with lebron than without him.

My position is that guys do get easier looks playing with Lebron. The other side of that however is that one could say that there is more pressure to hit those wide open shots.
