And your right, Lebron is a horrible, horrible shooter, 2 air balls from less then 15foot against the Lakers, 9-25 on shooting. And it's not like he's taking guys to the hole every shot and getting free throws.
As far as impact, who cares? Both proven they can get it done, 2 different players. Carmelo has to get open and does far more work without the ball. Lebron handles the rock, plays poor defense, turns the ball over alot, but manages to put up 25 shots a game and 20+ points, and some incredible passes. At this stage, In a big game, I'd take Carmelo, in a few years, when James learns to take it the hole, his jumper is better, and when he figures out defense is somthing you need to be able to do in the NBA, I think he'll be leaps and bounds better then Melo.
I always think Melo's ability to create for himself will be get better and better... Somthing Lebron doesn't do real well, except with fade away airballs.
Give it time, he's a rookie, he's learning, and I think in the long run, Rebounds/assists and the ability to score, James will be a megastar, much bigger then he already is.
As far as Melo sharing shots, I'll call BS on that all day. The entire starting 5 averages double-digit scoring for the Cavs. How many shots you think Lebron shares?
