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.

Saying Jokic is the greatest passer of all time is like saying Curry was the greatest shooter of all time in like 2013 lol.

People really don't want to hear it, even if it's true, they are too nostalgic over their favorite players from eras past.
