Saw Daddy's post in the other thread and I forgot how Magic-like J Williams was. Just wow. Got me thinking, who is the most magical handler/passer in the NBA today?

Dont see PGs with the same touch when it comes to passing. Doesnt seem to be as much misdirection like with Maravich, Magic. Even Nash.

Im sure you can find clips of great passes, but I dont see anyone with the same flair, who puts it togerher the same way. More dependent on their athleticism these days.

Jokic's passing as a big man is electric. Also, check out some old Arvydis Sabonis highlights.

yeah man Jokic's courtvision is sick. Kyrie still has the handle that gets him anywhere on the court he wants to be

Good point about Jokic. Maybe its because he's a big. Now that I think about it, he sort of has a Meadowlark Lemon kind of passing game. Makes great passes without moving much.

Quite familiar with Sabonis. Was impressive how he remade his game when he got too old for athletic moves. Was a more cerebral player at that point.

Forgot to add Mark Jackson his rookie year. It was one no look pass to Ewing after another. Last time we had so much young talent on the roster. Rod Strickland would be drafted as well. Built mostly through other means. We have a good mix of youth and experience this time around.

I'd put Rubio up there for honorable mention.

Historically I’d have to go Magic, Kidd and Nash. Currently active players - LBJ, Jokic, Ben Simmons, Teodosic, and Rubio.

Kyrie’s handle is pretty sick.
Rubio’s command of the ball is excellent.
All time, Maravich was just a different kind of ball handler.
