Can An NBA Player Become a Better Passer?

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

I can't think of anyone who entered the league as a bad passer and became a much better one. However, I've seen guys like Kawhi and J.Kidd come in the league as bad shooters and become good shooters.

I notice a lot of dudes work with Kobe and Hakeem in the offseason to become better scorers but nobody works with John Stockton, White Chocolate or Mark Jackson to become better passers.

My question is this, are you naturally a good passer or is it a skill you can work on and become elite at? I know that's been the thing I was always good at even though I didn't really like to pass as a youngin. Now I love passing but it's nothing I've ever worked on like that.

Kobe became a better passer as the years went by.

LeBron is definitely a better passer now than his first cle stint or mia days

This is kind of a bad question. But I get what you’re saying... anything can be worked on breh and anything can be improved. Yes it’s a skill/instinct but anyone can sharpen their instincts and hone their craft.

Ok now you’re being stubborn.... look at the goat pg’s you’re saying there was no progression in skill from rookie year to retirement. Are you saying by stats? Or what? I’m sure Bron has become a better passer since his rookie year.

Those dudes came in the league as elite passers.

Draymond

He hasn't become a better passer than what he was at Michigan State, he's just a more willing passer now.

As long as you’re willing it’s possible. It’s tough to shake off tunnel vision if you have it though.

By default that makes u a better passer.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Westbrook is miles better as a passer than he was in his first few years in the NBA

Nah. If Kenneth Faries decided to take more game shots he wouldn't be a conidered a better shooter just because he took more shots in the game.
