The NBA’s official Twitter account released the best passes from the 2020-21 season all week and PSO is aggregating all the best of them in one place below for NBA fans’ viewing pleasure. From LeBron James further cementing himself as one of the best passers ever to a new rookie on the block instantly ascending into the upper-echelon of the game’s top facilitators in LaMelo Ball. There’s also the best passes from every team, some crazy no-look dimes, and of course, touchdowns from coast to coast. 

  • Russell Westbrook led the NBA with 11.7 APG and 763 total AST during 2020-21
  • MVP Nikola Jokic averaged a career-high 8.3 APG during 2020-21, the 6th most in the NBA
  • Chris Paul was the only player other than Westbrook to record 600+ AST this season

LAMELO BALL IS ALREADY ONE OF THE NBA’S BEST PASSERS

If there was one skill LaMelo Ball would be able to hang his hat on at the next level, it was his natural passing ability. Something that seems like a gift in the Ball family considering his older brother Lonzo‘s passing prowess as well. The two bros grew up playing basketball constantly along with their other brother LiAngelo where the three learned to play the game the right way, and find each other for easy baskets as much as they liked to score themselves. 

Despite only 51 career games in the NBA and at just 20 years old, the youngest Ball brother is already emerging as an elite passer. He’ll enter this season with expectations to finish around the top-5 in APG considering the offseason Charlotte had, getting rid of Devonte’ Graham and surround Ball with players that complement his game. The 2020-21 season looks to be just the beginning on a promising career that will be full of dimes, no-look assists, and beautiful finds for easy cups.
