<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jan 1 2007, 08:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I think you are wrong. Some of those guys may average more assists, but that's because they play quite a bit more than TJ. TJ is an excellent playmaker, and he has some of the best court vision I've ever seen.BTW, he is 2nd behind Nash in AP48M.</div>No, it's not because they play more than them, I just firmly believe that they are better playmakers. T.J. Ford is an excellent playmaker, and I defended your case in another topic about that, but he is not in the top 5. I will give you top 10, but he is not top 5 (or top 8, in my book lol, considering I put 8 guys ahead of him). Sorry. We disagree on the subject.Also, Rajon Rondo got one assist in about a minute the other night. That's 48 assists per 48 minutes. WHO CARES? Stats are so incredibly overrated.
Okay, what's up with this recent Eric Snow bandwagoner sh*t.. Snow is definitely done as a playmaker. His Sixer days with AI in the backcourt are over. He shouldn't even be close to honorable mention.

He can pass the ball like any other player...lolThe only reason I want to keep Snow on the Cavaliers, is because of his D. He can shut down the star player and make them work for ever point they get. He can't shoot worth anything and he is starting to sit when the game is on the line even more. Mike Brown is starting to pi$$ me off a lot on how this season has gone, but I think Snow should be in when we need some D at the end of ball games.

Since Shaq is the best passing big man ever I think he should be given top 10 at least.

I mean I'm not just gonna list 10 point guards cause that wouldn't be fair. If you evaluate the posistions Shaq stands out.

And anyways, Shaq is by no means the best passing big man of all time. Trust me. I've watched Shaq play hundreds of times. He's a good passing big man but you can't honestly tell me he's better than any other post in history.
If Shaq was a point guard? No man... just no.He's a center, and does all his job in the post. I don't even know what to say about that.Tony put it well.

A lot of the reason Shaq is so great is because he's so damn big and so talented for someone that size. And a lot of the reason he's able to get away with being so lazy is because of those physical gifts he was given. If he were a foot shorter and 125 pounds lighter with the same work ethic he wouldn't anything special. But beyond that he'd be a COMPLETELY different player, he'd be a completely different person. Everything about him would be different.

He's mostly where he is because of genetics.I didn't post it because it just felt dumb replying to Pacersfan.
