Top 20 Best Passers in NBA History

15. Gary Payton

Gary Payton would headline the list of top trash talkers in NBA history, but he was not too shabby with the ball in his hands either. Payton began his career with the Seattle SuperSonics, where he was one of the elite point guards in the league. In 13 seasons in Seattle, Payton averaged 7.4 assists per game and was a nine-time all-star. Adept at playing the pick-and-roll with big men, Payton helped turn players like Shawn Kemp and Vin Baker into all-stars.
