Steve Nash

People who have watched Duncan and are not astounded with the footwork just dont know basketball. That what I gotta conclude. Both hands with the baby hook straight in, off the backboard...

There just are no other big men that had/have extensive use of both hands like Duncan, which requires the ability to be able to pivot off either foot equally well. Therefore, best footwork EVER. And best hands ever. You can throw him a pass in almost any position and he catches it without a bobble thus allowing him to get a move in quickly before he gets closed in on. I will admit he is physically he is in his downhill years.

Hakeem had great pivot moves in that they were so quick, and used for his little fall away or a move back to the basket. But no use of both hands for either McHale or Hakeem.

Im sorry, but its not close. Not at all. Ive watched all of these guys extensively (ie their entire careers)

What is astounding about Hakeem is he was absolutely terrible as a freshman at UH. His soccer skills must have added in his very steep learning curve. People also used to compare Patrick Ewing with Hakeem. This is also a joke. Ewing was not even close to the player Hakeem was. Ewing was terribly immobile in comparison to the aforementioned. He had a very good baseline jumpshot which allowed him to remain a competent center well after his athleticism left him.
