totally krossed up

not sure how that wouldn't be in anyones top 10-15

if it were just two regular players no one wld be talking abt that play

right, but

Well it happened in 97

Think only TIMMAY had really done much advance work up to that point

Best part about AI's crossover was that it was always left right

Most players start w/ the dominant hand because it's easier & I think it's why they end up in stepback J's because it's hard to drive w/ the non dominant hand

AI tho made sure to end up on his dominant side and could get you with the jumper or the drive

yeah iverson def knew how to get to the basket w his crossover 5000%

Kinda wonder what teams were telling defenders tho, I never seen AI drive w/ his left

But his defenders kept on biting (RIP Antonio Daniels)

ai over mj is very important for cultural reasons

i agree but just as a crossover objectively it's good but not great. if you go by day's criteria it's a run of the mill cross (not to mention a blatant palm, my love for AI notwithstanding) and jordan's reaction isn't THAT bad

dayo's*

yeah jordan actually recovers to get a hand up on iversons shot

Well that's just how crazy MJ is tho

tru

"I'll never forget coming off a screen and him switching and [coach] Phil Jackson hollering his name, telling him to switch out on me," Iverson recalled. "And I gave him the first little one, and I see that he's biting on it. And I hit him with the second one and made the shot."

Without making the shot, the move becomes an afterthought.

"I was going to put my move to the test, to see if it was real," Iverson said. "It had to be real if it worked on the greatest player to ever play the game. That made me feel good."

Watch the video carefully next time and you'll see what made Jordan such a great player.

"The craziest thing about it is, I hit him with my best move, and he still almost blocked it," Iverson said, laughing at the moment. "That's what was so crazy about it. That just let's you know how great a defensive player he was."

AI hits him with it once, MJ reaches, AI gets him again, makes the shot, everything is beautiful, #1 all time imo

so you admit are throwing out your own guidelines to give the crown to a guy who played in philly t/f

Ain't trowing no guidlines out. MJ reached plain and simple. Got what he deserved

If MJ didn't reach he woulda blocked the shot

But he reached. All AI needed

reach, teach

If MJ didn't reach he woulda blocked the shot

If he didn't reach, AI would've taken a different shot.

high school cp3 https://vine.co/v/OqZFu9hW7nq

Sick

feel bad for that kid why did he try to dive into the court like it was a lake

CP3 set him on fire. O_O

otm that must be it

lol that kid :(

ive watch it like 30 times and i still dont understand

Staged

Has to be

So you think Paul's pointing at the end is him saying to the kid, "You were supposed to dive over ~there~"?

we talked about this kyle

Exactly

Do it for the vine Kyle

saw that lat night pretty slick tho tbf not the highest level defensive effort

Tryna get a charge at the free throw line is nagl

ha yeah he got the fierce clowning he was asking for

Apropos of the discussion up-thread about crosses leaving the crosser too unbalanced to do anything but take a stepback:

Which should be renamed the Stephback, come to think of it.

Sick as hell

Adam silver should fine that dude for getting embarrassed like that

curry still so flippy around the basket idgi

great move tho 4 sure

maybe hes a lil afraid of contact from his early injury troubles

like if he took a direct line on that drive he wldve had a v good shot at an and 1

or even bodied into the help a lil

He loves to go high off the glass and has gotten pretty good at it but def don't mind him avoiding taking big hits tbf

got to get to the line man this is the #NBA

He does

Klay been getting there more too

plus those lil flippy shots man are just not as high % as a normal layup
