We'll see who's overrated when they square off in round 2...

Crossover's are so mid 90's, the new go to move now is the step back dribble thru the legs (ex Dwayne Wade, Joe Johnson).

If they meet, it'd have to be in the conference finals. But taunt away.

meh, his cross over is decent, but honestly a guard of his size doesn't need a great crossover since his size allows him to just need a slight step to body past smaller guards.

Deron William? I doubt anyone is eating his crossover.

around 1:27. Its basically a crossover, but instead of faking going in one direction, you fake a straight drive then pull back.

It's a decent crossover but I've seen better. He wouldn't be the first person I think of when talking about crossovers.

deron has a very good carry-over. but he hides it so well, and it is so quick, its tough to pick up during live action.

IDK, but the most underrated crossover in the league belongs to Brandon Roy...

100% agree brandon roy definently has the most underrated crossover

Roys is sweet but Derons is so deceptive you dont think hes going cross you over until he has your ankles twisted up like a preztle. Thats what makes his so great.

I'd say its overrated if people are talking about it being particularly quick or whatever, but he sells it well and, more, he often sets the defender up nicely by continuing to advance until he x's up, something a lot of quicker guys fail to do.
