10 Best & Most Creative Passers in the NBA Today

[@ijustateyourrdog]

Jokic top 3 tbh. you've never really seen a center volley tap passes to players that much before so yeah.

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Yes I tried to somehow get him in Top 3, but Rondo and CP3 have been doing it consistently for over a decade plus LeBron is, well, LeBron. But in the future Jokic could be #1, since I dont see any young players on his level when it comes to passing.

[@lilcrackaddict]

More true today than last year

[@JayRecluse]

Larry bird 🦅 can tell Jokic watched bird and dirk with his playmaking. It’s just beautiful art IMO

[@summumma]

Cp3 is not a creative passer. He's a good, non-flashy, low turnover prone passer

[@TheIcemanthomas]

u never watched prime cp3 I see. He is very creative. He just doesnt do it frequently.

[@shotarokaneda7525]

There are clear differences in types of passes that are being conflated together and giving certain players a higher spot than they deserve. The pinnacle of these creative passes is that they create something where there was nothing. The players that do this most often are Rondo, Tedosic, Rubio, and Jokic. Whereas, flashy passes (those that are normally the right pass but made harder for style) are given equal weight despite being less creative because they are an option or part of the offense. You take those flashy plays and right plays and add volume because that is their role, of course, they will seem like better passers. When the reality is that the best passes are those done infrequently because the passes are so hard to see or there was no passing lane.

2 Serbian players on the list!

[@zareneseznae1202]

all that it's normal...

[@ln3346]

Nice list i would just put CP3 on no. 4 behind Jokic and then jokic 3. Lbj 2. Rondo 1.

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Thanks, Im glad we agree on our top 4! All four are on another level, so there is no right answer to this debate :)

[@edwinvalenzuela2385]

Jokic is #1 now and mvp 🔥

[@ilicbojan5198]

Jokić and Teodosić, serbian magic...:-)

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Its interesting how all Serbian players can really pass the ball.

[@arkadiuszrogala1359]

I love Paul and Rondo, but if I need someone to deliver any kind of pass, it has to be LeBron. He’s got their creativity, but has so much power and speed and can pass over the top, he’s the greatest cross court passer ever, his outlets are like a quarterback, and he can look off a defense to manipulate them, then throw a one handed pass from anywhere at any angle. He’s insane

[@jimjim3979]

Are you serious milos only 9th?

[@BasketballFundamentals]

The only reason Milos is ranked that low is because he only has 1 season in the NBA. If we were looking at his whole career, he is Top 3 passers in the world.

[@SOSteele1987]

I would also put Steven Adams on the list though.

[@DANtheMANofSIPA]

Why is John Wall here but Manu is a honorable mention?

[@BasketballFundamentals]

You are probably right, Manu should have made the top 10. John Wall got the nod because his stats are really impressive when it comes to passing.

[@stephenwong1595]

Top me for me would be ricky tedo and manu~

[@noctissky794]

Names of music used in this video?

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Its all non copyrighted music that we found on youtube. Cant really remember the exact names of these instrumentals.

[@badgeneration2007]

When will Manu get the recognition he deserves?

[@BasketballFundamentals]

We put Manu as an honorable mention for this video because it was his last season and we wanted to highlight the younger players. But earlier we made a Manu compilation of his best nutmeg assists, check it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZfGppKfhc-Jo6s

[@jasonriley9584]

Where’s steph curry!!?

[@morgangrice1723]

Where's "White Chocolte" Jayson Williams?

[@gideoncheung8731]

No way Jokic and Lebron not top 2

[@BasketballFundamentals]

We had to give the nod to Rondo and CP3 because of how long they have been doing it.

[@pedroluisdesouzaresende777]

Where magic is at?

[@eurofam7475]

Read the title of the video dumbass

[@PalmdalesAdonis]

This video could have been made under 10 minutes ..

[@jackross956]

Where's Steve Nash?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@BasketballFundamentals]

We only focused on current NBA players for this list. Nash is definitely top 3 all time tho :)

[@jimjim3979]

Basketball Fundamentals why milos so low?

[@BasketballFundamentals]

The only reason why we put Milos so low is because he only played one season in the NBA. Out of respect and longevity for NBA guys ahead of him, we had to put them in front of him. We love him at our channel, and we even made his top 10 passes video :) hope you check it out!

[@michaelmoore9819]

Never.

[@nikolaspasic9309]

Westbrook is not top 10 broo

[@lauricevaldez4037]

Seriously?CP3 on the top list? You got to be kidding me!😂Rondo is way much better passer than him and Lebron should be on top.Why?Look at those different kinds of pass.

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Yea looking back I really regret putting CP at #1, he is a great non risk passer, but that takes away from his creativity. Also I only used CP's clips from the Rockets cause he played for them when I was making this video, so that doesnt show his full passing repertoire.

[@lauricevaldez4037]

Well,no harm done. Its just that Im so shocked.As of now,Lebron is the no.1 in assist.

[@MrPainfulTruth]

This list seems quite biased. LeBron more creative than Rubio, Theodosic? He only plays "unneccessarily fancy" passes most of the time, not creative at all. To me Rubio is by far the most creative guy due to his court visiion and awareness; noone of the others comes close and he's waaay down on your list.

[@BasketballFundamentals]

Actually in trying to create an unbiased list I came up with this one. My top 3 are Jokic, Rondo and Teodosic, but people would go crazy if I leave out Lebron or CP3 since they have been doing for so long.

[@WorldOfKsic]

it is clear you haven't even watched how Teodosic played when you can't even spell his last name correctly.

[@exillens]

Fast forward a year later. LeBron, Jokic, D'Angelo and Trae the top 4 creative passers
