Great post
@Originalman
Heat version of Lebron was peak passing Lebron to me. Part of that was because for the first time, he was playing with multiple players with elite talent and/or elite understanding of the game. Wade had both, so they would both see the opening before it developed. And act/react in synch.
On the Cavs, I remember rookie Lebron threading the needle on passes that would hit Carlos Boozer in the face because he wasn't on the same page. It got better during his time in Cleveland, as they practiced for years with him and began being able to get free and anticipate that Bron would find them, but the full Bron repertoire was revealed in Miami playing with Wade, Bosh, and in a system where defenses had to stay honest on all three, creating all types of lanes and openings.
Peak Kidd played with finishers, McDyss, Marion, RJ, Kittles, Kmart and Vince.
In open space...if they filled lanes, he was gonna find them for dunks/layups.
Magic played with finishers and vet/elite talent and IQ guys. If he got the defensive rebound, he would dribble or pass to get the layup/dunk before defense could set.
As the young guy on those early teams, he was playing with team full of four year college players and accomplished NBA players who knew about finding/exploiting defenses in half court set.
Kareem was fundamentally sound, genius basketball IQ, and good passer for a center, himself. He and Magic could breakdown defenses with simple give and gos without calling a play or set.
Magic came into the league on a team full of star ability/star understanding game guys.
The arsenal of his passes was on display from the moment he got on the court, and especilaly after tney made him starter .Bron didn't really have that until Miami.
At that tier of vision/passing it's a tossup. .....but almost every great passer after Magic credits him directly as the guy they patterned that part of their game after.
