    He could literally dribble circles around people or go right between somebodys legs. Too quick.

    I think all-time it was someone like Maravich.

    Players in my era: Iverson, Nash, Kidd.

    I would say Magic Johnson. 6'9" PG.......not a point forward but a true point GUARD. Unheard of before and since. Ridiculous handle too.

    Chris Paul is being massively underrated here. Out of all the superstar/star Pgs he is the least turnover prone by far. He has crazy handles and knows how to protect the ball.

    He averaged 11 assist and a little under 4 turns a game. I don't think his height was that much of a problem lol

    In his day, Randy Smith of the Buffalo Braves. He regularly destroyed full-court presses without help.

    For point guards assist to turnover ratio is a good stat. Turnovers per game is also not a bad stats.
    Chris Paul nearly has an assist to turnover ratio of 4 career wise. Career average of 9.8 apg with 2.5 TOVs per game.
