I mean LeBron has some fantastic passes. I’m surprised nobody brought him up. His court vision and awareness is too notch too. I feel like you have to break up passes into categories a bit.
For instance, Weird to say but I think AJ was the best lob passer I’ve ever seen. His passes to DRob just seems to float over everyone and time up perfectly with DRobs spin move. Watching the Spurs play now I find myself longing for any of our 3 PGs to have that passing ability of AJ to get the damn ball to Wemby for a lob. AJ was legitimately the only player I can remember to throw lobs consistently in half court settings without the use of a pick n roll. Dude would use it as an entry pass.
Manu is the best wrap around passer I’ve seen alongside LeBron. The ability to drive into traffic and hit the corner 3 is crazy court vision. Manu and Stockton are also the best pic n roll passers I’ve seen too. With Nash a close second.
Tony and Rondo are the best in traffic passers I’ve ever seen too. Him and Rondo were just fantastic at being in the air and faking a lay up and being in the trees and somehow someway get the ball to the big man.
Rewatching Magic in his prime and you can see a lot of his passes are basic passes where he moves his hands around to show off like he did some amazing pass. Or another Magic special is to do pretend no look passes. He clearly looks and sees the man and then turns his head before passing lol. But the dude did have probably the best court vision of all time where he just could make people open. They wouldn’t even know they were open. And that ability is better than anyone I’ve seen except maybe Stockton.

On this passer discussion, my hot take is that the best passer ever is in fact Jokic and no I'm not talking about greatest big passer, I'm talking about passer. Jokic is a better passer than Magic, Manu, Stockton, Nash etc..
