I would've liked to have watched Cousy. Isn't he one of the first improvisational passers?

He was the master of ball handling in his timeframe IMO... (as much as I remember of him)...behind the back passes on the break for easy layups..

Yeah, back then I believe that it was all new to see a point guard create passes to teammates seemingly out of nowhere. Opposing players didn't expect them, thus catching them off guard. Today, fancy passing is the norm so it's tough to fool opposing players. Rondo has some of that old school Cousy and "Magic" in him. And his athleticism allows him to take his passes a step further. All in all, the exceptional creativity of some of the legendary point guards over the years have helped introduce the showman to the league.

It's too easy to include all Celtics, so my 5 current favorite non-Celtics:
1) Al Jefferson (ok, that's cheating)
2) Chris Paul
3) Danny Granger
4) Deron Williams
5) Greg Oden
