It has to be Barry, Manu, and Beno. Not in that particular order. Beno does turn the ball over quite a bit, but when he is out ther with Barry and Manu, he is one of the best. Barry, always seem to have one or two good passes a game that make you stand up. Manu, well we all have seen do dome crazy bounce pass to someone driving to the basket or some behind the back pass that comes out on the highlight reel.
Tim does an excellent job passing out of the double teams.
Ever watch a Spurs game?? :bangQuote:

I think our other players just handle the ball well within the offensive flow. I really like Jacque Vaughn too.
Manu gets into trouble with some of the passes he attempts.... but he is, in terms of creativity and floor vision, in the top 10 of all NBA players I have ever seen.
Beno is excellent and he seems to get the ball to players in rhythm.
I still say Manu is the best in terms of over-all passing ability.

The love of Beno who shouldn't even be on the roster and the disrespect of Tony makes me want to:vomit:.
Beno is probably considered the best passer because he doesn't get a lot of turnovers on them, he probably is the most fundamentally sound at passing. Manu and Barry take more risks and although they can turn it over, they will make an insane pass every now and then.

As far as best passer to/opportunities, it has to be Manu. He either gets himself or somebody else a high percantage shot every time he touches it. It's why Hollinger loves him.
Barry is the best by far in my opinion, followed by Manu and Beno.

beno = accurate and passes it when need to
manu = too aggressive and flashy imo
barry = passive fundamental bookplays
tim duncan = no comment :D
you think too much :dizzyQuote:

Gino, Beno, and Brent are all very good passers.
Tony makes some nice ones too.
...Interesting, she picks all the White players, maybe Manny was on to something... :angel :lolQuote:

Quite simply: Barry, IMO
Manu has thrown some of the best passes in recent memory. In terms of flashy, incredible type passers, Manu has most of the NBA beat.
Beno, and it's not even close.
I was just thinking that Manu's flashiness is reminiscent of Nash, and even Magic.Quote:

Definitely Manu is a creative bastard, or one of the most creative with his passes today, remember the one's where he'd pass it to Tony in between the legs of his defenders??
I was just complimenting Manu's flashiness and courtvision.
Of course no one is in Magic's league since he was 6'8 freakish PG/Player, save for Nash's PG skills, and even THAT is a loaded compliment to Nash too.
In terms of accuracy and always getting it to his man, the TO's) Manu's not as good as avoiding them than Nash. But Nash has his shares of intercepted passes/TO's as well, of course like Tony, he's a PG and 6'3.
Manu is better because he has more power. He can see the floor better than anyone and that is sometimes a problem because other don't know they are open.
