I think that you'd have to give that to Johnson or Stockton. Also though I think pistol pete was a hell of a passer. This video helps explain why Johnson though
Who is the greatest passer of all time?

In all seriousness, this series of NBA videos you're making is the most boring thing you could have done. You're taking a top 10 list that anyone could have just looked up, offering zero analysis and then just reading stats off a page.
I don't know what you're looking to accomplish with these.

Greatest passres, IMHO:
Innovation: Bob Cousy;
Showmansho: Pistol Pete;
Consistency: John Stockton;
All-round: Magic Johnson.
Non-PGs: well, there once was this Center who led the league in total assists one season (and came third another year), but @R-Star would probably have a fit if he is mentioned...

Vlad Divac when he played for the Kings had the greatest passes of all time for a 7 footer. Well, maybe if you didn't include Jon Bender, who is now dunking the business world in the face as hard as he used to cram it at the rim.Greatest passres, IMHO:

I'd go with Magic Johnson. If he didn't retire that early, he would've gotten the record for most assists of all time.
He has the best assist rate of all time, so I think it's safe to say that he is the best passer of all time as well. The only possible knock that people can claim is that he had way too many offensive options at his disposal compared to others.

Not that I'm arguing, but Magic himself has personally said that Pistol was his major passing influence, and you can certainly see that in the types of passes you see them create on film.
Also, Pistol's teammates often would miss his passes because a lot of them didn't know to expect those kind of passes. They just weren't "normal" back then.
I'd say Magic might be the best overall in execution, but Pistol was the innovator [and inventor] that gave Magic the template.
