Dangerous dribbling away from the hoop. Bird, Nash and who

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

Bird and Nash often can’t beat their men off the dribble so they dribble where they are allowed to go. Both Bird and Nash did a lot of damage after their path to the hoop was cut off. They could spin and shoot. They could shoot off the backboard even while going away from the hoop. They could see teammates behind them that normal humans can’t see and pass to them.

Who else did damage while dribbling away from the hoop. Curry swings wide avoiding traffic on drives and uses the backboard. Jokic is dangerous while wandering arround but does not seem to fully dribble away from the basket.

Who else was dangerous while dribbling away from the basket? Normally basketball players don’t dribble away from the basket except to shoot 3s.

chris paul special is literally dribbling into empty space after a drive to take a midrange jumper (which he is historically great at making)

Kyrie because his ball handling ability is so special he can break you down and get a shot from anywhere on the floor
