Who's a better passer, LeBron James or Nikola Jokic? (alien.top)

Prime LeBron or current Jokic it doesn't matter but based on what you've seen from them throughout their careers because we already have an adequate sample size for Jokic, who do you think is a better passer?

I think it's Jokic but I'd easily change my mind if I hear a really good argument for LeBron.

Man, I say Jokic is the greatest passer of all time but I always get absolutely hated by many for it.

Like Jokic can literally just stand there doing nothing for the whole time and can get a highlight pass of an assist in a manner nobody expects and nobody see it coming. Whereas LeBron and Magic for example are great passers as well but at most time it’s also their ability to create shot for themselves, the drive and kick, and transition that generates a lot of their assists. In passing, and purely in passing only, Jokic is so effortless in generating them because a lot of times he just only stands still, scans, and all of a sudden he has an assist.

I'm going to spam this thread with Magic highlights. Have you never seen any Magic highlights? Its chock full of them int the post making amazing interior and kick-out passes.

Magic Johnson existed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdHRCL0kM7M

While these are amazing, they are clearly a step below Jokic’s. Please go watch Jokic passing highlight. I feel like Jokic gets half of Magic type assists on a nightly basis.

I'm sure Magic was doing this on a nightly basis as well. I watch plenty of Jokic, Magic's passes in just one video are on his level. He was also doing it when this type of passing didn't exist. There's something to say about someone revolutionizing the game.
