Kyrie Irving with LeBron: ????

Irving is a better shooter than all of those guys. I'm expecting an incredible year from 3 for Kyrie.

That stat is pretty obvious, considering all of the attention that Lebron draws.

Kyrie is a very good shooter with the ball in his hands though, not so great catching and shooting. It will be interesting to see if he is able to develop that aspect of his game.

Irving is going to benefit from LBJ and the two of them could become an amazing duo. Irving will actually be able to space the floor, something Wade couldn't do.

I'm not sure if this will apply in Irving's case. He might get a slight bump but at some point Lebron doesn't have a huge effect. ex: Ray Allen

"at some point"

And then you point out the greatest 3pt shooter in history?
