I think it’s almost unanimous that Steph is the greatest shooter of all time and Magic is the greatest passer of all time. My question is, who has a wider gap between them and #2 + the rest of the pack?
Also, stats are important, but not the end all be all here. For instance, Klay might actually be a slightly better catch-and-shoot 3pt maker than Steph, but Steph is so far and away better at creating his own shot it’s why he is clearly the best shooter of all time. And Magic may not hold the assist record, but you would be hard-pressed by most fans and players if you said Stockton had a similar passing ability to Magic.
I disagree… sure, you can learn how to make a behind the back pass etc. but you cannot teach court vision.
Read the line properly “…by high IQ players” which means they have the court vision to make epic dimes. Its not everyone’s cup of tea, CP3, Nash, Isiah Thomas OG, Rondo,Jkidd, Big O, Stockton, LeBron, Jokic are just few of the bunch.
You seem to be implying that it is universally accepted that high IQ = great court vision. While this likely has a connection, it by no means is an obvious thing to expect people to agree with.
