How many stars do you not remember throwing a single pass?

[Kblaze8855]

The issue of Glen Rice and passing came up in a different topic I didn’t want to totally misdirect so here we are.

I’m gonna try the word this clearly while also not giving you 11 paragraphs.

I’m not asking if anyone literally never passed. I’m asking for players your internal memory banks do not have a file involving a pass.

Glen Rice, for example. When I think of him, of course I remember shooting. I remember him taking a jumper and following it and doing a put back dunk like he was Dominique Wilkins surprising everyone in the process.

Nowhere in my internal Glen Rice folder is a pass.

When I think of Allen Iverson, I can think of several passes. A near full court one through somebody’s legs late in his career comes to mind. Some pretty behind the backs. I even remember one from the dunk contest where Kenny Smith went crazy joking about how he had never seen Iverson pass when he lobbed it to Iggy for one of his dunks.

I think what I’m asking is clear so I’ll just give my first prominent example….


I don’t believe I can remember Patrick Ewing passing the ball ever.

I’m absolutely certain he did, of course. I’m sure you could show me Knicks highlights that involve a pass from him that I’ve seen before. But nothing is in my easy access folder.

as for guards? I don’t think anywhere in my internal memory is a Damian Lillard pass.

Who can you come up with?

Guard: Kobe

Forward: McHale

Center: Gobert

Your internal memory contains not only the famous crossover and lob to Shaq But probably a pretty drive where he did a wraparound behind his back mid air for shaq to catch it and dunk.

But the 2000 Alley to shack is definitely in your memory.

Not a star, but Andrew Bynum.

Melo probably, not because he didn't or couldn't pass but I can't remember a single one off the top of my head, he always looked to shoot the ball.

Klay falls in this category as well even though he obviously moved the ball a lot within the GS offense, but that mfer put up a 60 point game with like 2 dribbles and 1 assist total.

You are correct, I also remember his pass to Artest during his 6/24 meltdown, one to Fisher in OT in the Finals in '09, and he dished on Horry's series winner against Portland in '02.

If I were to choose a perimeter wing for that spot, I'd go with Melo.

[Kblaze8855]

I do remember Carmelo doing one of those pass it and then do a 360 spin for the highlight moves when he was in Denver. The kind people were mocking Halliburton for throwing in the finals.

I do not believe I have a Klay Thompson pass in my files.

Dirk?

Alonzo Mourning?

Tony Parker?

Guard: Kobe

Forward: McHale

Center: Gobert

Kobe led his team in assists 5 times to championship. Have to pass to do that.

I think Kobe might have the most rings as assist leader. Maybe only Magic has him tied.

Moses Malone

Kobe sucks bro, move on.

i’m gonna assume Cousy has six since he won six rings.

As to your point, Tony Parker led at least three playoff teams in assists while winning championships. I would like you to describe a pass of his if indeed you remember One. All I can think of all the Spurs going close to coast and him possibly being one of the guys passing it back-and-forth with Manu. But I can identify Manu in my mind’s eye in those memories. The other guy is fuzzy. Might be Tony might be anyone.

Moses Malone

yeah. I can remember Moses Malone taking a three, but I don’t remember a single pass.

[1987_Lakers]

I just checked and Moses never had a season where he even cracked 2 APG, that is pretty insane for a player who touched the ball so many times. Even McHale eventually became a capable passer.

[1987_Lakers]

Adrian Dantley is a good one too.
