GOAT passing forward
Debateable, but somewhere along those lines
Still not comparable to GOAT PGs like Magic, however

Best passing forward all time after Lebron, Pippen is third

Best or 2nd best with Magic, both could make passes from anywhere, any time, any range, broken plays, in the system, touch passes, lobs, fullcourt etc
CP3, Manu, Stockton, Kidd and Nash all deserve mentions too

Of course you'd think so, you never watched Pippen or Bird play.

What was wrong with that post? I wouldn't be mad at all if you said Lebron over pip in passing and im a huge pippen stan.

Mark Jackson.
He played well within a system but I don't think his overall passing was at the level of players I mentioned.

Best passer that didn't play PG. Definitely top 10 passers of all time and potentially top 5.

As far as pure passing vision, Bird doesn't take a backseat to ANYBODY! From a stationary position, he's arguably the greatest passer of all time. But guys like Magic, Stockton, Kidd, Isiah, CP3, and Nash were PG's. So they had great handles with great pace to go with their great passing skills. They were better breaking down the defense and creating for teammates than Bird. Lebron also that edge on Bird as well.
But with that said, I got Bird in the top ten passers of all time. The size of Bird, Magic, and Bron make them kind of in their own league though. They can look over the defense in a way the other epic passers couldn't:
Magic
Stockton
Kidd
Nash
Cousy
Big O
CP3
Isiah
Lebron
Bird
All of these guys could pass their teammates open. And see shit develop better than everybody else. And most of them were also very stylish passers as well.

Only players I'd put above Bird are Magic, Stockton, Nash, and Jason Kidd. Bird is in my top-5.

GOAT passing SF, arguably the best passing big ever. Top10 passer among all positions, someone may even argue Top5 and I wont disagree.

Top 5 passer ever, if not the best ever.

GOAT non-guard passer.
Top10 passer of all-time.
Larry can't quite play the point as other tall players like Magic or even LeBron, due to lack of the type of lateral quickness those players have... But Bird's a better pure passer than LeBron, for example.
Not to mention that his basketball IQ was unreal.
