Nikola Jokić the best passer in NBA History ?

[boogiewithstu2007]

His anticipation for setting up his teammates is like not nothing I’ve seen before, his court vision is incredible, best passer I’ve ever seen especially for a big man… Russ keeps struggling and maybe Broncos needs to get Jokic behind center !

Best passing big man?

For sure.

Best passer in NBA history?

No. Too many super skilled PGs out there who could really drop dimes.

This guy.

This guy.

He’s hard to top.

And it’s no knock on Nikola. Jokic is the passing big man I’ve ever seen.

But nobody is Erv.

Better question is where you rank him and Embiid on the all time C list. Not the whole career but just as a player in their prime. I haven’t followed the NBA much over the past 10 years.

Larry was awesome, no question, but some of the passes from Jokic are next level stuff, and he does it consistently…

Bird was next level before Jokic was born.

Magic was the man, but he did most of his damage on fast breaks… I was just having this debate with a friend we had Larry, Magic, Jokic as the best… Jokic is just different though how he does it from the half court offense… Crazy how quick he see’s things …

Well, ya gotta be born before you can leave a mark … lol Jokic is doing things now, making his case …

I agree, but all time passer is in question. Alltone passer from the C, yes easily.

That’s fair

Bird wasn’t the best passer of all time either

I’m looking forward to his first Finals appearance.

He has a chance to really begin writing his history.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

John Stockton & Oscar Robertson come to mind.....and of course Magic Johnson obviously.

Jokic too as far as centers go...no question.

I agree, that honor will go to a guard.

Easy call best passing Center of all time. Sabonis, Walton, Love if you view him as a center are the next group. He stands alone at the top.

All time NBA? I don't think so. I would put on my homer goggles and suggest Rubio! Teams would leave him wide open(fairly) to try and do nothing but clog the passing lanes and he still put the ball where ever he wanted.

The guy could not shoot or finish in the paint, yet offenses still consistently became more efficient with him on the floor.
