First of all, i just proved to you that he was 8th in assists with 7.4 per game last season. If you dont call that proof, then what do you call it?
Second, your information from WIKIPEDIA, the place where anybody can edit the information, is not factual, its an opinion from someone whose probably an idiot and doesnt know anything about iverson, like you. iverson is one of the best passers and playmakers, considering he has no decent players to pass it to.
I agree with you for the most part except for 3 players. I'd have to with David Robinson instead of Malone. Either Bob Cousy or Jerry West instead of Stockton. and i love Dr. J, but in the top 10 of all time, i dont know about that. So, i'd go with Patrick Ewing instead of him.
And in about a decade or whenever he retires, right now hes too young, but im going to knock out one from the current list and insert LeBron James because the guy is one of a kind, and hes been in the league for 3 years. I can already taste his potential. And the LBJ vs. Michael Jordan. LeBron is already showing that hes better individually. Jordan is better iconic wise AS OF NOW. But in a few years that can all change.
As a nets fan, i know im biased when i say this, but jason kidd, when he reitres, will be lingering around that group of names. throughout his illustrious career SO FAR: 76 triple-doubles and 4th overall in nba history. So, i wont forget to mention his name after he retires.
LBJ is already a legend but im curious to know how much of it is from the hype he has received. He is an amazing talent without a doubt and i have said many times that he could go on to be the GOAT, but he is hyped nearly as much as Jordan was and he's only just starting his career.
Im a big fan of Jerry West but i put Stockton in as he has the assist record and will go down as arguably the best PG ever (i would go with Magic, but i'd understand someone saying Stockton).
A case could easily be made for Robinson over Malone and Ewing over DrJ. Its the players like Jordan, Magic, Bird etc that should be on everyones list.
Kidd is one of my favorite players, i wonder just what heights he could have reached if he had a consistent jumper like Nash. Thats the only weakness in his game, other than that he rebounds like a PF, plays great defense and can run any kind of offense be it fast breaks or half court sets.
Do you live in NJ?

I live very close to NJ. I live in NY in a very small village right above New York City. So im close enough to 2 arenas, Madison Square Garden and Continental Airlines Arena. Though I really only go to nets games, because the knicks: they're undescribable, i'd be wasting my money to see one of their games.
Speaking of location, hey which part of New Zealand do you live in?
Yeah the Knicks are a total mess. Hopefully they can get better this season, they seem more committed to playing defense this year with the signing of Jeffries and the "unusual" draft pick that was Balkman. But with players like Marbury and Francis in the backcourt its not looking good.
I live in a city called Hamilton which is about 2 hours south of Auckland.
