BLOG.URBANPEEPHOLE.COM: Place Ya Bets! Best Crossovers of all time
I would have to say that the best all time cross over artist is Tim Hardaway. While The Answer has some highlight reels, Timmy has a bevy of them in his belt. Tim has crossed over some of the best of the best and broken ankles and turn some knees up in his day. The highlight of The Answer's career is when he got Jordan. Albeit, getting Jordan is something to put in your highlight reel, I think that if you put Hardaway up against Iverson, Timmy would kill him.
The other idiots on the list don't even match up. Nick Van Exel is one handed and only dribbles to his left and because he is left handed makes his dribble funny looking. Stevie Franchise was talented but not a real good dribbler, didn't he get his notoriety from scoring? Who is Deron Williams? That chubby dude is not going to juke anyone when doing a cross over. He would be too busy eating doughnuts than crossing someone over.

What is this guy R.C. talking about? A.I said with his own words that Nicky V had the best crossover in the league while he himself was in his prime. Sounds like someone wasn't listening and just looking.
Now I agree w/Tim "I Got Skillz" Hardaway, but what I don't agree with is Franchise and DWill. Just role tape at Franchise vs. Clippers on 3 or 4 occassions he left those PG's looking for air.
D Will is actually very cut and not chubby, I wasn't a fan of his in college, but that crossover on Kobe and Fisher in the playoffs had those Lakers asking Phil for Zen and now I'm a believer. Don't hate this man b/c he has some of the best handles in the game now. If he were playing for the NY Bricks, you would be a fan. He plays for the Jazz and now he's chubby. Like NFL Countdown said, C'Mon MAN!

yeah, deron williams and steve francis (especially steve francis...) shouldn't be on this list. i could cross up derek fisher at this point. he's a horrible defender.

Yall have to give Deron Williams more credit than that. Dude has better handles than most in the league right now.

deron williams may be the best overall PG in the game, but he's not really known for a devastating crossover.
where's chris paul on this list??? baron davis?

C'mon, Fish a horrible defender? Tell his 5 rings that and I HATE THE LAKERS, but look at it this way, I've seen Chris Paul speed past people, but never a highlight crossover. Again, check steve francis' resume' and how he has made defenders turnaround trying to catch his cross. What you don't know is that he only had one move to score and that was the cross. But BD is one that could be added, but best of all time, he doesn't have the resume'. Check the youtubes on all of them and then decide, don't guess at it. That's why I got Tim all the way. He could do it w/o stalling the offense and go for 20ppg and 10 assists. Only D Will has that resume'

yep... HORRIBLE. DEFENDER.
the current, 30-something year old, 14-year vet can't stay in front of anyone. i'm not saying he's always been that way. but he is, now. there's a reason they put kobe (who had a pretty vicious crossover himself) on rondo in the finals.

ok, but that still doesn't say who has the best cross. ivo has all the highlights and had the rule changed completely. although i still got tim as #1

oh, the answer is tim hardaway.
he wasn't nearly the player that iverson was, but if we're talking just crossovers, gotta go with timmy.

Ok Folks on UPH, All I hear is Tim Hardaway. I guess this means we can close this thing down holding Tim as the winner because there aren't any more votes it seems. I guess for those who didn't get a chance to see him play, will have to settle for Tim Hardaway Jr. entering his Freshman season for the Michigan Wolverines this fall.
