Two-time NBA champion with the Miami Heat, Shane Battier, named Tracy McGrady as a better passer than both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
Miami Heat’s key player during their two NBA championships in 2012 and 2013, Shane Battier, revealed who the best passer he ever played with was during his appearance on the Draymond Green Show.

Battier jokingly threw some shade at his former Heat teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, saying their passes were never on point, while his Hall of Fame teammate with the Houston Rockets, Tracy McGrady, always threw perfect passes for the sharpshooting forward.
"I used to yell at LeBron and D-Wade, and I’m like, ‘Dude, you want an assist, hit me in the chest,’ and they’d be throwing at my ankles. T-Mac never missed a pass," Battier said on the podcast.
Battier spent three and a half seasons with McGrady in Houston, making it out of the first round of the playoffs only once, in the 2008–09 season.
Meanwhile, during his three-year tenure with LeBron and Wade in Miami from 2011 to 2014, he reached the Finals all three seasons, winning two championships.
