SportsHoopla Open Court - Top 5 Handles of All Time

[CitySushi]

Who are the top 5 players who had the best handle you've ever seen?

My top 5:

1) Jason Williams - Dude was amazing with the ball in his hands and still one of my favorite PG's ever.

2) Rafer Alston - Skip was awesome even in the NBA and not even counting his Rucker Park days. I just watched the clip of him the other day just messing with Sasha Vujavic.

3) Kyrie Irving - His handle is amazing. I can't deny it. He's a wizard with the ball in his hands.

4) Tim Hardaway - UTEP 2-step aka Killer Crossover. Enough said. One of my favorite Warriors of all time.

5) Allen Iverson - Yeah he palmed the shit out of the ball, but he was also amazing at navigating tough close quarters. Legend.


Honorable mentions: Jamal Crawford, Steph Curry, Pistol Pete. Only reason I didn't include Pete who would probably be on this list was because I didn't get to see him play with regularity. Only have seen clips and highlights. He was way before his time though.

I would put Rondo and Mugsy on honorable mention.

I only saw film.

But, Pistol Pete was the original white chocolate.

I will go, in no certain order....

Iverson, Kidd, Kyrie Irving, White Chocolate, Tim Hardaway Sr.

Honorable mentions : Pete, Skip 2 my Lou, J Crossover, Mugsy, CP3, Cousey, Pistons Isiah and the highly underrated Rod Strickland.

Kyrie reminds me so much of Rod when he goes to the rim.

Strickland had that sick ass reverse layup.

If he would have stopped smoking weed long enough to learn how to shoot, he could have been one of the greatest.

Yessir.

Pistol Pete far more advanced than any of the players on that list. Pistol Pete>>>>>>>anyone ever at ball handling. Players still can't replicate his moves or handles.
