I guess another thing to think about is that Jokic at this point has more experience seeing hard doubles and it's much easier to pass out of them from a stationary position on the low block than it is initiating from the perimeter. We've seen LeBron pick apart teams that double or collapse, so I'm fairly sure with some film work the Lakers will have the appropriate counters built in next time the Nuggets try to do the wall
I mean it's no slight, Bird is insane as a passer and T-Mac is still arguably the best passing SG ever (Manu is really the only one I'd consider outside of him - Harden makes too many flat out bad passes for me).
Richie Guerin is highly underrated as a passer. I don't have a lot of footage of him, but in two full games I have seen he looked spectacular (had 11 and 13 assists in them). I can't tell you if he's better than Manu, but I know he's extremely good and was true floor general for the early 1960s Knicks.
We have the same birthday and he's from the Bronx.
That said I've never seen him play so I can't say. Haven't watched any Knicks games before the 70s.
