I think we can all agree that Steve Kerr is a great shooter. Without Jordan he was a 42.2% shooter from 3. With Jordan he was a 47.9% shooter from 3. Why? Cause Jordan attracted attention and gave him more open looks. Mo Wiliams was a 35.9% three point shooter before he went to Cleveland. He shot 43.6% this year. Why? Cause Lebron attracted attention and gave him more open looks. The fact that West shot 39.9% this year with Lebron means with other teams he would likely be a 35-36% 3 point shooter.
