Know the current 3 best passers in the NBA
There are many great passers in the NBA but a few can make the audience go crazy. Almost every basketball lover appreciates acrobatic dunks, deep 3-point shots, and sick handles. But some fancy passes can never get out of the mind of the viewers and can make them drop their jaws.
Die-heart basketball fans do appreciate even the simplest of dropping dimes, the most appreciation it gets when the passers drop it to the right player.
The defensive ball rotation is something that all the teams should pay more attention to because it’s a necessity and an important element of basketball. This game is a team sport and requires ball rotation/movement so that it creates the spin and stops the ball from bouncing off the floor. Shooters and attackers are only able to score points because their ball handlers pass them the ball. And that’s the reason why playmakers play an important role on the roster.
The current best dime droppers of the league are –
- LeBron James:
LeBron James is one of the finest passers in the NBA. He has been known as a pass-first player since his early years.
LeBron James now owns the fourth most career assists of all time, and he earned the title of “KING”. James, on Tuesday night, dominated Steve Nash and so far he has made a total of 10,338 assists in his name, with an average of 7.1 assists per game.
And today he’s only 89 points away from surpassing one of the best NBA players Kareem-Abdul Jabbar’s all-time scoring record.
- Luka Doncic:

Nikola Jokic is also known as “Joker” in the NBA world. In basketball, the centers are usually in charge of blocking shots, scoring inside the paint, and grabbing rebounds.
Jakic is a versatile player. He can shoot, secure boards, play defense, facilitate play, and attack the paint. Being a multitasker he is totally unpredictable when he’s on the ground, and it creates a kind of fear in the opponent.
