Killer Cross 

Post#1 » by The Main Event » Wed May 7, 2008 12:49 pm

In your own opinion, who has the most killer crossover of all time?

Obviously the first that comes to mind is allen iverson.

Jamal Crawford has a pretty sick one as well. Check out this unorthodox cross on Hinrich.

How can you say killer cross over without mentioning Tim Hardaway. He's the reason why people say that term. But I love crawfords cross. Here's my all time favorites
1. Tim Hardaway
1a. AI early career before they started calling it a carry
2. Kobe early career before they started calling it a carry
3. Jamaal Crawford

Why start a new thread about crossovers when there is already a thread on crossovers

For the same reason that there has to be two people involved in a crossover.

Dwyane Wade has the best crossover in the league.

His crossover is the most effective and consistent as it allows him to attack the basket so often; and he always racks up those high percentage FG's.

Though for best crossover "play" (not sure what to call a specific crossover) ever, that Iverson versus Daniels crossover is so sick and it's also embarrassing for Antonio. Probably the best one done ever.

Dwyane's is the best because it's a combination of speed and power in the change of direction.

Honorable mentions who haven't been named yet:

Steve Nash
TJ. Ford
Monta Ellis
Barbosa
Deron Williams

Deron Williams has a sick crossover. This is just vicious, two crossovers in a row from left to right:
