Is this exclusive to on ball creation? I’m surprised Curry didn’t make the list

He said Curry would be 4th if you included spacing in the metric.

He also said he’d be 8th without spacing for reg season but injury drop-offs have kept him off the list for now.

Even with spacing involved, Curry doesn’t crack the top 10, certainly not top 5. His spacing is enhanced by draymond green and Warriors elite passing in general.

This opinion is laughable

Nash didnt do it as long as the the 2 guys directly under him. Man, I'm I wrong to question that J Kidds abusive ass isn't top 10?

    1. Pistol Pete
    1. Andre Miller
    1. Magic Johnson

Kevin Love is the best outlet passer in the league not named jokic this century

Did he give a reason for not including Kidd?

RetroesqueOP[GSW] Stephen Curry•

He talks about it in the last 15 minutes I think.

Stop posting about Ben Taylor like he’s the holy grail of basketball analysis. The guy has biases and favorites like every other fan. All he did in this podcast is relay information that’s available via simply looking at the passer rating metrics. Which isn’t a good way to judge a playmaker.

I mean people on this sub post the ridiculous opinions of Skip Bayless and SAS, so I think it's okay to post some informed opinions by people that have done there homework.
