"I was really concerned when Orlando changed the finisher. [Hedo] Turkoglu was the finisher. Vince [Carter] is a better one-on-one, get-your-own-shot guy than Hedo is. Hedo made the simple pass out. I think he made everybody better. Vince, for all of his talents, I don’t think he makes anybody better as a basketball player."
TNT analyst and Hall-of-Fame player Kevin McHale on the Magic's decision to replace Hedo Turkoglu with Vince Carter. Quote culled from a transcript of a conference call with TNT analysts

There may be something to say for the making people better argument.
Especially with Jameer (more open shots, less pressure to run the offense the whole time).
It depends
You can make your teammates better when you’re an efficient scorer because defenses will collapse on your penetration more, and will pay you more attention. This means more freedom of movement and less defensive attention to them.
It’s all a matter of proper decision making for a scorer. When to score and when to pass.
