    Rubio shot 35% from three this year. You're right about Kidd. In fact, is one of the most prolific three point shot makers in the history of the NBA.

    Another thought. Kidd went to 3 NBA Finals while Gary Payton (who yes, went to one NBA Final) is known for choking in both the NBA Playoffs & the NCAA Tournament.

    I chose payton first, then Dame.

    then i went back and looked up Payton stats.

    looks like i chose him for personal memories and not logical stats rankings.

    i still put payton over Kidd for me though.

    Didn't Payton go to three finals? Sonics, Lakers, Heat? Granted he was only really relevant in the first.

    Payton wasn't about stats. You can't quantify attitude.

    Yeah but Dames got Tude too. Just a modern day Tude that fits better with the times i think.

    And Kidd and Payton don't come close offensively to Dame.

    Dame's passing is very underrated. It's like he has eyes in the back of his head. Some of the crazing angles he hits with pinpoint accuracy are ridiculous. One of the best long cross court passers i've ever seen . But his scoring prowess is so great, many overlook that portion of his game. And he's shown that with better finishers, his assist totals have gone up. And i feel, those numbers will continue to rise.
