Anyone's percentage is going to go up playing with those guys.

That just isnt true. Kobe and Wade are both slashers who rarely dish out to the three point line. No one doubles perimeter players in the NBA. it is just a false argument that a player should shoot better because they are playing with a great scorer. it makes no sense. If you said that they played with a top post player, where there are doubles and people collapsing off the perimeter it may be palatable. If you want to say that Williams three point shooting improvement was because of Lebron, why did his overall shooting percentage drop? because shooting %'s are effected by tons of factors outside of the 4 other players on the court.
