Too bad he was a bust, huh?

Best handles = KB24, then next would be Chris Paul, or Iverson

[Unreal Skill]

Iverson, Kobe, Tmac

but he doesnt have that understanding of his moves and there effects the way Deron does....I havent seen someone break down guys like Deron does in a long long time.

the direction change is based on his athletism imo not the handle..

here is some Deron stuff...I might have to make a mix

The moves at the 18 and 35 second marks in that video are amazing. He gives really committed fakes and jukes. Lots of guys have fast "twitch" moves, but few guys can commit as far or with as much weight/distance in each direction on each fake as Deron can. That's what sets him apart and gets the defenders on their heels. It helps that his crossover is lightning quick.

That move in the video where he goes over the screen, goes between his legs thinking there's a seam, and then right back between his legs back-to-front, then turns the corner, crosses over and drains the J is amazing. I think it was vs. Detroit. I closed the video already.

Kobe has the best handles.

here's why i always bring up crawford's name in any discussion about handles. his array of moves is unmatched in the league today (like i said, i would probably still rank paul ahead of him as an overall ball handler though).

i mean, are you kidding me with some of those moves? and he's doing this stuff like every game, its like a regular part of his game, nothing special to him.

a lot of people have good handles, it's hard to decide who is best because they all have their own styles.

[konex]

Kobe has the best handles.

Kobe has nice moves in the open court and he can split the double with the best of them but his overall handles aren't really impressive compared to Paul or even LeBron.

His dribble is not constantly low and he often loses the ball in traffic. It''s weird cos he does some sick moves in ASG's but he rarely gets creative off the bounce in real games..

Paul's got the ball on a string, but the things Deron did in that video were absolutely nuts, especially the one on Bruce Bowen. How he picked this up I have no idea.

First of all, Prime Jason Williams (White Chocolate) handles > * (anyone in NBA history).



But today, it's Deron Williams. Dude literally yo-yo's the ball. Sick...

[mrhoopfan]

Crawford, Ridnour, Nash,a nd don't forget Rafer "Skip to my Lou" Alston

Nothing like a head to head comparison, right?

Paul's a lot safer with the ball though, he's never reckless with the handle.

But, that video just shows a mismatch, Deron looks twice his size.
