Well it happened in 97
Think only TIMMAY had really done much advance work up to that point
― 龜, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:25 (nine years ago) link
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%
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:29 (nine years ago) link
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

― lag∞n, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:47 (nine years ago) link

"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
― 龜, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:51 (nine years ago) link
so you admit are throwing out your own guidelines to give the crown to a guy who played in philly t/f
― k3vin k., Friday, 24 October 2014 03:52 (nine years ago) link
Ain't trowing no guidlines out. MJ reached plain and simple. Got what he deserved
― 龜, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:53 (nine years ago) link
If MJ didn't reach he woulda blocked the shot
But he reached. All AI needed
― 龜, Friday, 24 October 2014 03:55 (nine years ago) link
reach, teach
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 October 2014 04:03 (nine years ago) link
If he didn't reach, AI would've taken a different shot.
