Just passing, or play-making ability?

I agree with this list. How many TOs does D-Wade average again?

Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
Vince Carter
Tracy McGrady
Manu Ginobili
Paul Pierce

Vince might be 2nd best if he had more weapons..people need to watch him more..he's been handling the PG position for a good amount of minutes with Marcus Williams..he's actually a great passer, and he's playing with the least amount of weapons out of all of the players on the list, outside of Wade..

Pierce is undoubtedly last for me..nothing against him, but I believe the other guys are definitely ahead of him..

1-5 are all interchangeable..

I could agree with that. As soon as I saw this list, my first thought was 'Carter will be underrated'.

His handle is somewhat less than many of these, so people will take that into account, but pure passing, VC is damn near as good as anyone of these guys, and I had a hard time figuring out where to put him.

Wade - turnover prone but he gets most these from slashing, not bad passes
McGrady - solid passer but his playmaking has faltered with his loss of speed
Carter - agree that he is underrated, playing with Kidd will also deflate assists
Kobe - he can dish, but he's just a better scorer
Pierce - he's only had guys worth passing to for 50 games in his career
Manu - great all-around talent, but nothing phenomenal about his passing

Passing:

Tmac
Carter
Kobe
Wade
Pierce
Ginobilli

I don't know why Carter gets no credit, he's among the best when it comes to setting up teammates.

Tracy McGrady
Vince Carter
Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
Manu Ginobili
Paul Pierce

Glad someone else recognizes how great of a passer Carter is. Well not really great; he's just really underrated in this area. I think just in terms of passing Wade is better than Carter, but he turns the ball over way too much.

Nothin against Pierce, but I don't see how he could rank anything but last on this last.

My personal list would probably be:

T-Mac
Wade
Vince
Kobe
Manu
Pierce
