For example, I wouldn’t call Kevin Love an all time great, but he is one of if not the best outlet passer in NBA history. What are some other examples of players who you wouldn’t necessarily call an all time great, but is nonetheless one of the 3-5 best ever at one individual skill?
I think Legler was the prototype for a three point specialist role player in the 90’s.
KELLY SLATER POSSIBLY THE GOAT ATHLETE EVER !!!
Al Jefferson’s post game is up there with the greats. Dude was so fun to watch.
Jason Williams (Kings/Grizz/Heat). Greatest behind the back passer of all time.
Plumlee three times each season has a better handle than Kyrie.
Kyrie’s handles.
Kevin Love is not the best outlet passer, he learned and watch from THE best Wes Unseld, played for Washington Bulllets.
Bill Russell and winning
I think just 1 on 1 isolation in the post no one is scoring on Chuck Hayes.
Tom chambers, best in game dunker ever
Trae Young with his ability to bomb 3 pointers
What about making them?
people can and will argue his ranking on the all time list for this skill, but Rajon Rondo’s passing on the Celtics had a huge cultural impact. Dude legit had people calling his name out during pickup games for passes the same way they would with Kobe for shots
white chocolate for flashiness. behind the back elbow pass was so good it made got put into an anime
Kendrick Perkins turned the ball over 25% of the time he touched ball. 2nd all time.
Amazing he was a starter every year on that amazing team, and the thunder after. Goes to show that as long as you can play that role well…
Thats not what TO% is. He turned it over 25% of the time the possession ended with him
So basically every 3 times he shot it, he turned it over once. Still absurd though
Gotcha
