Kevin Johnson wasn't on the list, which came as a surprise to me, as well as no Isiah Thomas, but really the videos didn't go back into that era. I was also surprised to see Kobe not on the list, even though I don't actually recall any of his crosses, he just usually finds his way onto any highlight list.

I feel like Jamal Crawford's behind-the-back move on the break needs to be in the top five, and that Manu Ginobili could be somewhere in a top forty.
I wasn't considering Zeke and KJ because as the crossovers itself I could not really find some lethal ones, that thing was not that much popularized in 80s early 80s, Tim Hardaway was the first one to really make it popular.

I reckon Zeke and KJ are some of the best nba's ballhandlers ever. I found couple good ones by Kobe, but just felt like others were better.

No Zeke Thomas? :camby:

one of the best ballhandlers ever, by the definition of a crossover I couldn't find some big ones where he sent the defender far to other direction, broke ankles or did things like that. Crossover wasn't popular back then.

Tim Hardaway better be in there.

Kevin Johnson, to.


KJ's wasn't dramatic, but it was effective as shyt.One dribble, between the legs, and he was right by you.



He got Kenny Smith 2x in the first 35 seconds of this vid

After watching through this clip a lil more:


The break down @ 1:53 & the behind the back/finish with the left hand on Cassell@ 4:32

BEAUTIFUL....BEAUTIFUL:wow:

he was basically Iverson without the flash when he went into attack mode on the offense.More of a traditional pg than AI, but maybe the best i've seen at finishing around the basket with both hands.

I heard AI tell the story about KJ hanging 36 on him his rookie year. nikka said he cried in the locker room.
