ALso, there have been some uderrated guys because their team generally shared the ball well.Rose and Noah were good before they both fell off their respective cliffs.Malone was a great passer alongside Stockton. Very underrated.Divac was a great passer, and he played with Magic for a few years.And when he was on the kings... pretty much that whole team could pass. C Webb was good, so was Bibby. That team shared the ball nicely.Same with the Parker/Duncan?Manu Spurs. They likely all sacrificed stats to win.Easy with describing efficient passers as 'great passers'. I do not think of Karl Malone's game and think 'great passer'. We tend to throw around the 'great' designation to liberally these days. If Karl Malone was a great passer what was Jason Kidd? What was Magic Johnson?IMO Malone was a great passer for his position. What big man of his era was better, aside from maybe Vlade or Webber?

If there's only a handful, then they won't end up on the same team too often.Webber/Divac worked great (but both big men), and you can add Brad Miller to that mix too.
