The best all-round player would be Steve Nash.  He scores and he makes great passes.  All-time greatest player is Oscar Robinson, because he averaged a triple-double one year.  Jason Kidd is very good, because he does it all well.

In terms of creativity?\n1. Pistol Pete, just showboated all the way with behind the back elbow passes, between the leg passes etc. it was truly amazing watching him during those time periods.\n2.Steve Nash, maybe not as fancy in passing in a game to game basis but Is one of the only people to make any player better with his dishes, proven with the players he has the used to be reserves or barely had 5 minutes of mpg. (Raja, Diaw etc.)\n3. Magic Johnson, Loves the no look pass and made it a trademark\n4. J-Kidd, He can get it anywhere he wants and like thread poster said, hardest passer to read.\n5.Jason Williams, Crazy handles and passes, does alot of passes like Pistol but has lost his prime
