Changed it.

Magic, hands down.

Not only was he a great passer, but the way he did it was an art form.

 

[rmilia1]

Went

Magic ( obviously )
Big O
Jackson
Williams
Walton

 

[rmilia1]

Big O isnt going to get the love he should get here i bet but that guy could really freaking pass

Changed my 5th vote from Kidd to Williams too. Williams may actually be the best pure passer ever but his career wasn't as successful as most of these other guys largely because of who he played for and the truly awful timing of those Kings tabs coming along right as LA hit their peak

Jason Williams was so ridiculously overrated.

He was a highlight reel street ball legend who was good enough to be a protective NBA player.

But, he averaged less than 6 assists per game for his career and the Kings got significantly better when they replaced him with Mike Bibby.

JDub was style over substance all the way.

Magic, Stockton, Kidd and Nash should be on just about everyone’s list, IMO.

5th name is up for debate. Leaning LeBron right now, but quite a few other guys can slide in there.

Have to disagree. Williams was just flashy, he isn’t anywhere near the top of the list.

Lebron should at least be in the top 10 on every list. He might not be flashy but has top 5 vision and seems to always make the right play. I think CP3 is right there in the running for top 5

 

[DJ Fieri]

I went with

Magic
Stockton
James
Kidd
CP

Nash just missed the cut.

 

[logic]

I went Magic, Stockton, Big O, Thomas, and Bird. I know it is all old school, but there are really very few wrong answers on the list.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Had to give Mo Cheeks a vote because nobody else will ha.

 

[trojanfan12]

Magic, Kidd, Bird, Nash, Tater Salad

 

[logic]

Magic, Kidd, Bird, Nash, Tater Salad

Tater really was versitile, so smooth on some plays and then full of vinegar on others. Always liked him when he added some mustard to it. I know a lot didn't like him with Mayo, but they really paired well together.

But poor Tater, anytime he started to heat up it all went bad so quickly it would make you sick.

 

[SJ76]

Based off pure court vision and ability, but also the best no lookers

Magic
Bird
Stockton
Isiah
Kidd

Yeah, CP and Bron were 5 and 6 for me in no particular order. He was the main one I was deliberating for 5.

Nah, there are definitely some wrong answers.

I won’t push back too hard on any of those, but some names in the poll above just don’t belong in the conversation.

No Ben Simmons?
