Interesting short film on the development of the crossover from college to the pros.

Thought this was a good article. I am going to show it to my son in the hopes he can get the finer points to executing a cross over.

Damn, Hardaway was nasty. Funny ending from Iverson. What comes to mind is that the knicks haven't had a guard who could break people down in a long, long time!

some may hate to hear this, but marbury did have that ability.

I would have to agree with that...I think I've pushed him out of my mind.

What makes DWill so sick is his handle... he's not exceptionally fast (though he is fast by any normal standard). Love his game
Rose is not the answer.

Pearl Washington was the first guy I saw perfected it...It was his only move at 'Cuse...You knew it was nasty when he shook Georgetown's all world defender Gene Smith...Gene Smith and David Wingate could lock down anyone...Everyone except Pearl...

Best cross was definitely Tim Hardaway, but Jamal came close. He didn't use it enough but Jamal made some of the sickest dribble moves I've ever seen.

Haha, seriously Marbury's entire game was breaking people down. He was actually excellent at that in his first ywo years here, then he wasn't physically there.

The aforementioned Craw had a couple of sick dribble moves, including a ridiculous cross, but he liked to shoot from the outside more than he liked getting in the lane. Not everyone liked to absorb that contact. Iverson and Marbury were exceptions and their NBA careers ended early.

I think Marbles ended Yao's career prematurely. That clip is still one of the funniest pieces of sheehit I've ever seen.

This was incredible. AI is one of the few players on a team outside of the Knicks that I would just sit down and watch.

so i take it you like watching dudes palm the ball

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

his crossover is far more legit than iverson's. very impressive, but as a brooklyn net he needs to drop some weight.
