RIck Barry the Dirk of his era who could pass better.
O.K. I know that it is the NBA greatest players but I fudged a little and including Rick Barry's time with the ABA to the numbers below.
Also, I am giving Barry conference finals and final wins when he was with the Oakland Oaks in 1968-69. The Oaks won the ABA title that year but Barry did not play in the playoffs. Barry was All-ABA first team that year. Which makes his case different from Elgin Baylor in 1972, The Oaks were 30-5 when he played. If he played in the playoffs they would have also won. So he gets the championship;
