I don't think there's even a correlation between AI's shooting percentage and his team's winning percentage, let alone a causation.

Please explain! If AI could magically convert one missed shot per game into a make during his career, wouldn't logic dictate that his teams would have won at least a few more games?

With scoring margins as narrow as they are, you'd think one additional make (vs. a miss) could be as valuable as four or five wins per year. If a make is worth 2 pts, a miss is probably worth less than half a point (since some makes are rebounded by a team-mate and scored). That's over 1.5 pts more per game.

Well, yes, if he had played better they probably would have won more. What I mean is that you don't see his FG percentage go up and down based on the quality of the team around him.
