Interesting logic, seems having Lebron as a teammate would help you shoot a higher percentage and dish out more assists for sure. So you could almost make the argument that his game has actually dropped off since his numbers have dropped in those categories despite the attention that opposing defenses pay to Lebron.

I think you are totally offbase. First of all he was a point guard in Boston. He plays much more off the ball now. Secondly LeBron james rarely scores off off other guys passes, he also controls the ball a lot which will cut down on guards assists. He also is assigned to cover the other teams best wing player on defense. The FG% is hardly a big deal considering he only avgs about 10 shots a game. Over a 10 game period it is three more missed shots. The guy does have a problem staying healthy which is why he isnt more respected. Even this year he was hurt and came back fairly quickly afterwards which surely dipped his numbers. 2 key stats that you failed to mention is that the number of turnovers and fouls has dropped quite a bit which shows that he is growing as a player. Basketball stats are also really affected by systems and coaches way more than baseball
